Why does Glen Sather insist upon making this team so damned hard to cheer for. Donald Brashear, Chris Neil, add that to Avery, who I can’t stand and this looks like a remake of Slapshot, we’d have our own version of the Hanson brothers, only it wouldn’t be funny.

If we give Neil the reported 4 years 2.2 mil then i give up. He and Brashear combined for 4 goals last year – not worth 3.6 million total!!!

Does Sather not realize that Antropov, Naslund,Gomez (possibly even Zherdev) made up a large percentage of our scoring which was atrocious in the first place.

Well you know that Gainey got Cammarelli for Gomez. Kovalev as their other winger? GAG line part deux.

I know Rich, I’ve seen the evidence before, but we’re not on the receiving end of it anymore.

Let the other team quiver in their skates for once.

Seriously rediculous… This man never fails at making himself look like a bigger moron than the last time. Why don’t we just pay a bunch of bears to brawl on ice in blue shirts?

Mikey has anyone reported what Niel was offered? (besides 4 years?)

I agree if this signing goes through the cap space is dwindling…but if this is indeed his strategy, perhaps he is not done offloading the inflated contracts (redden/rozival) That OR he is looking to acquire said superstar in a trade for (mostly) numerous prospects and picks.

Why else would he want 2 tough guy enforcers when he knows damn well we need to save room for scoring help?

you give Evgeny Grachev a chance to be a sniper he seems good enough to fulfill that role

I dunno Plebian, cause if Neil takes that retarded offer, I dont think they can afford a sniper…

Perhaps they are stocking up on deterrents to protect an as yet unsigned (and oft injured) superstar…Gaborik, Havlat?

I can see taking Neil if you lose Orr, but the Brashaer factor negates needed Neil at all… unless, again, Brashear is going to be traded.

You know what, Sather is a friggin moron. This is turning into what we knew it would be, complete and total Sather foolishness.

Neil, Avery, and Brashear? Line Brawl Time!!!!! I hope they all grow mustaches too, since this team will lead the league in fighting if the rangers sign Neil. If you are going to play 70’s hockey, look like 70’s hockey, that what I always say!
