D Prospect McDonagh May Bolt Rangers

Larry Brooks at the New York Post reports that if Rangers defensive prospect Ryan McDonagh (U of Wisconsin) does not sign with the Blueshirts this summer, he will not sign with them at all.

McDonagh would then play his senior year for the Badgers. If he remains unsigned through next year, McDonagh would become an unrestricted free agent as of Aug. 15, 2011.

Brooks is hearing that McDonagh will make his decision based less on the contract and more on his perception of the Rangers' program.

...if this kid bolts, it will be another notch on Sather's belt of ineptness.

you can't possibly believe your own bullshit here, right?

because what are you even talking about? if he plays for us its icing on the cake. the guy was a throw-in for the deal that allowed us to get rid of gomez and sign gaborik. the trade that brought mcdonough's rights to the rangers was a great one for the rangers and a great move by sather. you sound like a raving lunatic.

I'm sorry you felt my brief comment made me sound like a raving lunatic.

But I feel that you are completely off base. Brooks is reporting that the kid will only stay based on the direction the Rangers are going. So if he bolts the feeling on his end is that Sather has the team on the wrong path. Hence the criticism of Sather.

And just because he was a throw-in doesn't mean I should be accepting that a stud defensive prospect may want to leave the organization.

Shocked to see someone actually defend Sather.
