Makes no sense to trade a young core for an aging, overpaid player. Just stop Ek.

What if the "aging, overpaid player" is better than the "young core"?

and if the trade proposal was Nyquist plus prospects for Eric Staal, you'd probably say that isn't enough for Staal right?

I would trade Eric for just the two prospects. Pick two, they were Wing's property, so they're automatically better than most we've drafted in team history.

Well they gave you a coach and Nestrasil for free so you should be nice enough to retain some salary.

Don't forget Zherdev, Frolov, and Higgins. Not saying they're superstars, just pretty good players who the Rangers thought would be sick

Are YOU really gonna start w/ this??? As of last year, Isles were still paying Yashin's salary.!!!!!!! I think NYR , Isles, and most other teams have plenty of brutal signings. Lets take a step down from our ivory tower big guy..lol

Nash needs a Phil Mickleson moment...

I remember all of those nay sayers saying that Philly boy didn't have what it took to win a major, then bam he wins a Masters and has one many majors since.

I get the knock on Nash, but in no way did NYR make a "mistake" trading for him. The cap hit is fine for a 42 goal scorer, and I don't miss any of the guys that went to the Jackets.

If Nash has that Mickleson moment in the playoffs, and produces even a fraction of what he does in reg. season, then cup or no cup, no body can say anything.

Until then I guess us Ranger fans gotta hope and pray....
