man, I cannot believe the lack of writing skills with some of these "bloggers"

I can't believe how many want the rangers to pass on him. I get there has been trouble off ice with him, but radulov is a highly skilled player. Not often you get to acquire top line player for little cost. low risk, huge upside imo

Key part is the cost, if low enough and contract not a deal breaker, it's a no-brainer.

I'm sure if there is genuine interest on the part of the club then Nashville would have granted the Rangers permission to discuss terms of a contract with Radulov. Should Slats feel Radulov's demands are within reason and the cost to acquire his rights from Nashville to be fair then I expect the Rangers to make their move. I certainly have no fear of the Blue Shirts getting fleeced in any way.

I don't think it would cost that much in terms of personnel/picks. Indeed, I think very little will have to go back to Nashville. With the KHL offering him the moon, however, I find if very hard to believe that he will sign an NHL contract for much less than $5 million per.

faceoffs were certainly a killer this season.

I do think there are plenty of guys the team is developing now, the cupboard is stocked, I like the idea of promoting from within with these 3rd and 4th lines. Especially since we are stuck with Rupp for two more years.

I want to add an offensive star somehow this summer and let the rest fall into place with what we have to be honest.

I totally agree. Not to mention, if you add another Top 6 guy, you can play Anisimov and Stepan at the second and third line center positions, and drop Boyle down to the fourth line. I am fine with a fourth line of Boyle, Rupp and Prust. I just don't think there is any need to add another fourth line type -- i.e., I am not too concerned about the 4th line center position.

This.

Konopka won't give us anything but faceoffs and the ability to fight. To add another guy like that doesn't really make sense to me. I'm with you, go after a goal scorer, Bobby Ryan is my choice.[/img]

Yep. not sure how much he would want, but can't see Nashville getting much for him. Rumored to have a large offer from khl, already left for more money in past and doesn't have the best reputation. I just can't see not taking a chance on someone that talented if its low cost. He was putting up good numbers this year in Nashville as well

That's what i would like to see. I wouldn't mind Jarret stoll for the 3rd line center, he would help on faceoffs and has more offensive ability than gaustad, konapka and the others mentioned. He'll get overpaid with the thin forward crop though. I could see konpaka being brought in if we can't re-sign prust

I could be wrong, but Radulov just screams Zherdev Part II to me.

kelly chase is the biggest ass h0le on NHL network analysis.he said "lundqvist is not there most valuable player,to me there most valuable player is callahan" and he gets snubbed of vezina because "the kings were 29th in scoring and had no support what so ever during the regular season"is this ass hat for real?!

I am willing to give anyone a chance for the right price. The Rangers need scoring depth, I think he would provide that. If he does sign I am pretty positive it will be on a one year deal. So if it doesn't work, you move on.

I don't know if he wants the Rangers. But I do believe that he would rather stay in the NHL for at least another year.

I said those exact words to my brother when I heard the rangers might be interested in radulov. But as TPC said if the price is right, why not?

the white walkers are the undead, can only be killed with fire. Daenarys Taergyen holds the up hand with that.

Obsidian. The only one actually killed thus far was killed by an obsidian dagger.

Don't people read anymore?

Not my taste. I am, in fact, surprised I like the series. But when they move to the white walkers and the red witch they lose me.

Also, not to sound as a know it all, white walkers are not the "undead" per say. They are a separate race of creature. The undead are the humans they turn into their zombie slaves (the "undead").

Books are awesome, you get so much more insight.
