No Significant Changes Coming for Rangers

Lyle Richardson (Spector) at Fox Sports speculates on which teams will be making moves to upgrade their team and doesn't think the Rangers will be one of them...

"With only $2 million available cap space and too many players on big contracts there might not be any significant changes coming for the Blueshirts."

...exhibit "A" as to why Glen Sather should be fired.

While Alan Muir over at SI.com in a Q&A says he doesn't expect the Rangers to cut their dead weight similar to the way the Capitals did with Michael Nylander...

"But this is New York and it would be one of the boldest moves of his career for Slats to walk up to Jim Dolan, tell them he screwed up, and that they need to eat the salary of one (or more) players who no longer deserve a spot on the team. That's why it's not going to happen."

...what I'd like to know is how Dolan doesn't know this already. Is he so far removed from the Rangers that he has no idea about all the over-paid, under-achieving players? By not cutting ties to these players (Redden, Rozsival & Drury) they are just compounding the situation.
