		<description>If you can get the same value now, as you could during the trade deadline, then I wholeheartedly agree bro.  Trade Jagr, and anyone else who is playing like crap.  But the key part there is to get the true value back.  Despite Jagr playing poorly this year, he is still worth at least a first rounder, a 2nd rounder, and a very high ranking prospect to a team legitimately in the run (I think he would be great on San Jose to be honest).

If the Sharks offered me their first this year, their 2nd this year (or next year), and Logan Couture or Nick Petrecki, I would jump at the chance to make that trade.

But I am not moving him for a marginal 3rd liner, and a 3rd rounder.  That is not getting back equal value.</description>

		<description>No inferno, we&#039;re on the same page.  I&#039;m not looking for a big name for a big name, but more of an addition by subtraction.  I think if you can move Jagr for a couple of prospects and draft picks you do it.  You then recall Callahan from the AHL and give him a spot that&#039;s opened up by the trading of Jagr.

To bring in another big name would just compound the chemistry problem.</description>

		<description>Thats where i kinda disagree with you steve.  it seems like you want to make a big move (say swapping jagr and a pick to atlanta for marian hossa) to try to snap this team out of it.  but to me that just compounds the problem.  its the &quot;band aid&quot; approach we saw during the decade of despair where the team was on the verge of making the playoffs, but couldnt do it despite adding more and more high profile names, and then had nothing to show for a mediocre year in terms of a high draft pick.

i say try to fix the team with a small move, then a coaching change.  if that doesnt work, you go into all out sell mode.

lets not try to fix an unfixable situation, instead lets try to solve the core problem of this team, and it is slow, lazy, and old players which are killing us.  we need to get bigger, stronger, younger, and faster. and we arent getting that way through trades, i think you need to build through the draft to get the way you want to.</description>

		<description>Inferno, I&#039;m not gonna lie.  The Adam Banks thing probably would have put your&#039;s over the top.  All jokes aside, I think we&#039;re all in agreement now.  I think it goes beyond Step 1, because I really believe that the true problem right now is the big guys are playing small and have been all season.  I don&#039;t know what you want to chalk that up to, but since I do think these guys want to perform, I&#039;m chalking it up to just a complete lack of chemistry.  We see it all the time in sports...the teams that should win on paper, not necessarily doing so.

It&#039;s now about 2/3 into the season and the chemistry just clearly isn&#039;t there.  So a move needs to be made to hopefully snap some chemistry into this team.  The current construction just flat out won&#039;t win.</description>

		<description>Steve,

Thats why my &quot;how to fix the rangers&quot; article was written the way it was written :P

im talking about the legit one, not the funny one.

Step 1: Get a true #6 defenseman.  see if that fixes the team, if not, goto step 2.

Step 2: Fire Renney. see if that fixes the team, if not, goto step 3.

Step 3: Firesale at the trade deadline.  see if that fixes the team, if not, goto step 4.

Step 4: Sign Adam Banks (I really should have added this one... hehehe)</description>

		<description>Absolutely agree Chris.  At what point over the last 10 years has bringing in the big name free agents worked out? Shanny worked last year and that&#039;s pretty much it.  Chemistry and hard work may be more important in hockey then in any other sport and thats what these kids bring.  Case in point is the Dawes/Dubinsky/Prucha line.  Wouldn&#039;t it be great to see four of those-type lines just be absolutely relentless for a full sixty minutes?</description>

		<description>I agree with your comment from about 248. . .what was wrong with the plan of giving contracts to one or two free agents a year and bringing up guys that were ready from the farm. . .we&#039;ve got decent defensemen like Pock sitting in Hartford, who sure as hell won&#039;t clear waivers and we have to watch overpaid junk like Mara and Malik skate around like they&#039;re in a production of High School Musical on Ice. . .if these contracts weren&#039;t so bad we might be able to get rid of some of these guys. . .</description>
