Larry Brooks at the New York Post looks at how the Rangers could possibly open-up some cap room to bring in a center to replace the injured Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky (Brooks is reporting he will be out six weeks)..."Otherwise, the options outside the organization appear limited and unappetizing for a team with approximately $865,000 in full-value cap space available and in need of immediate relief.
That number, though, is not written in indelible ink. There is wiggle room with a bonus cushion for Entry Level and over-35 contracts, but overage beyond the $56.8 million cap would be deducted from next season's allowance."
Brooks also adds that the Rangers could free up additional cap space by placing Dubinsky on Long Term Injury and sending Aaron Voros down to Hartford.
...the Rangers' rookies have stepped up this year, I'd like to see Sather and Co. give a couple of more guys a chance (i.e. Parenteau and Grachev) rather than going outside the organization.
