Comments on: Kotalik/Higgins Out? Sather to Follow?

I believe you are still on the hook for at least half of his salary, ALA the Stars are paying half of Avery's salary for the remainder of his contract.

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:30:15 +0000 http://www.nyrangerscast.com/?p=3170#comment-6824 new look rangers Gaborik-Jokinen_Prospal Dubinski-Drury-Callahan Avery-Anisimov_Lisin Voros-Boyle_Prust Now here is the question. Toronto said they'd take on a bad contract but only if it came with a first round pick/prospect. would you guys trade Redden or Rosival (preferably Redden) and next years first round pick or prospect (think grachev, sanguinetti, stepan, kreider)for Tomas Kaberle, whom TSN said looks like the odd man out and the most likely to go? he is still under contract for next year and we get out from under those albatrosses? The money works out with either player so I dont see why Sather wont make this call. What do you guys think? new look rangers

Even if Glen Sather were to be removed from his GM position and remain as President, you don't think he'd be pulling the strings behind the scenes? Mark Messier would just be a figure head.

I wouldn't want to give up a player that could potentially be part of our future for a player who will probably only be here for the remainder of the season. I’m glad Calgary didn’t want Gilroy.

I also read that the rangers would have sent matt gilroy but then after calgary acquired ian white they no longer wanted gilroy and the rangers offered higgins instead and thats how we got where we are now according to what i read the deal was delayed because calgary wanted jokinen for tonights game.

There is also a rally to get sather fired on March 7th before the game heres the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=272851463916&ref=ts apparently knicks fans did it a few years ago with isaiah thomas and he got fired that off season the question is, is mark messier capable of being a GM.

However, if Sather is out as GM, I'm all for it. I’d definitely do the Kotalik-Jokinen trade. I’m still iffy with Mess as GM. However, if Sather is out as GM, I’m all for it.

Glad to see Higgins go, he needs a chance to get his game back somewhere else. Kotalik... I'll miss his bomb of a shot from the point. I still cant fathom why Voros is a Ranger.

He has been doing great while forced to fight legitimate heavyweights. With draws against Boll, Konopka, Asham, and a loss against McLeod last night he has been holding his own. Now this trade means that he will go back to being what he was last year, Invisible except for when he makes real bad penalties at the wrong time.
