Rangers Will Not Revamp

Arthur Staple at Newsday says not to expect drastic changes to the Rangers roster this summer...

"But there were no indications heading into the week from people inside the front office that the Rangers are at all tempted to deviate from their plan to stay young and plug holes via free agency rather than remake the roster this summer."

Staple adds that Ranger targets remain the same: a physically imposing defenseman and an offense-minded center. The Senators' Anton Volchenkov and the Predators' Dan Hamhuis top the list of defensemen, while the Canadiens' Tomas Plekanec stands out most at center.

...this is great to hear as one of the biggest problems the last few years with the Rangers has been lack of chemistry due to constant roster turnover.

Exactly my point smashmark. Sather revamped the team last summer and it took until the end of March to find any chemistry.

I'm hoping the late season chemistry will carry over.

Maybe I'm too optimistic.

Please Please Please....give me Plekanec. I think he's one of the most underrated players in the league. also Hamuis is a no brainer over AV if it comes down to it.
