***Artem Anisimov…my bad.
Brian, that was absolutely beautiful and could not have been written any better. There is a good chance I might have a post regarding the Rangers, their Salary cap issues, and bringing in potential big names like Heatley, Gaborik, Hossa, etc… and use a ton of what you said.
Thanks, and feel free to use anything that I wrote. I had originally posted that on another blog who reported your initial post (http://nyrangersblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/rangers-offer-package-for-heatley.html), but had not received any reply comments on it, so I posted it here and made a few changes.
Let me know if you need anything else… I would love to somehow contribute to an already established blog.
And do you have a name, or do you just go by admin?
does anybody actually know anything hockey cuz it sounds like some of you dont
your giving up callahan who had a breakout year, girardi who i admit didnt have the great defensive year he had last year but has great upside for what were paying him, gomez who is a waste of space and onn top of all of this a FIRST and THIRD round pick for dany heatley… just my opinion but i do NOT agree with this.. i want a pure goal scorer so badly for this team but its not worth all of this for one guy- it also seems like if he doesnt win a cup in his first 3 or 4 years od being on a team… he wants out so what happens when he aks us for a trade if we dont win a that time?…. we may as well give ottawa the rights to staal and lunqvist while were at it
hes going to edmonton, dustin penner is one of the best players in the world and ottawa will give heatley for penner
Really? – If you thoroughly read my post, you would have understood that the package for Heatley is indeed an arm and a leg and then some. However, it would be necessary to include all of that in addition to Gomez because of Gomez’s salary. If Gomez made what he is worth, around $4-5 million, then we would not need to include all of Callahan, Girardi and picks, but possibly 1-2 of those commodities. But because of the fact that we would need to move $7.5 million in salary in order to just make salary room for Heatley, we would have to go overpay in terms of talent to make up for the fact that Heatley and Gomez make the same salary, yet Heatley is light years ahead of Gomez in talent.
Got it?
You have got to be kiddin me…… let alone the absurdity of the other trades, you think shero is gonna trade Talbot, the guy WHO WON THE STANLEY CUP (essentially) and kunitz, the winger who helped get the pans there for Dany “I’m gonna drive my car 200 friggin mph and crash” Heatly?!?! Yeah he’s good, but it would be like Pittsburgh taking Hossa. Let’s see…..hmm…..a self absorbed player who is talented but has essentially carried his team throughout a few seasons is picked up at the expense of two hard working guys who add character to a locker room. Thanks but no thanks….. I’ll take my locker-room heatly free.
brian- its not a matter of getting thanks tho.. i understand perfectly im just stating MY opinion that all off what was ‘offered’ is not worth one player..
