Rangers have signed Markus Naslund for 2 years and defenseman Dmitri Kalinin for 1 year. Looks like Sather is setting up for the post-Jagr era.... Here's a quick scouting report on Kalinin from sportsnet.ca. Zipay had the deal as 1 year/4.5 for Naslund but then changed it to 2 years.

So far the theme of the free agency class of 2008 is, "what cap?!?"

With Straka seemingly heading back home to the Czech Republic, Avery & Sather in complete disagreement over his worth & Jagr in complete and utter limbo, this Rangers team could have a complete different look and feel come training camp in September.

They chose Canadian OHL defenseman Michael Del Zotto, who is considered to be an extremely offensive minded D-Man that loves to Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:23:25 -0400NHL Draft Michael Del Zotto Rangers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15767 As I am sure most of you have already read that the NHL has officially filed a claim to the U.S. District Court to allow them to seek retribution against the NY Rangers' management in response to them filing a law suit against the league back in September concerning the controlling rights to the Rangers' website. The league won the suit and already has assumed control over the Rangers' site and a Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:08:49 -0400NHL Rangers Gary Bettman James Dolan Draft http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15653 Sean Avery's internship with Vogue magazine this summer must have really opened a few secluded doors in Avery’s subconscious personality.

It seems that both sides are interested in Jaromir Jagr returning for another year with the Blueshirts.

Did Glen Sather overcompensate for his prior free agent spending sprees and hold back too much this past trade deadline?
