Trade Winds plus Ottawa

It has come. After one the best Olympics in human history, Glen Sather will make another pathetic attempt to push us into the playoffs by trading away draft picks for under performing snipers and an aging defense-man. Many have chattered about the Rangers having and interest in Souray. If Sather was able to obtain this aging veteran, it would surely cost us some future capital. Souray is illogical not only for that reason but also because he is currently injured and may not return until April. How does that help our playoff push? If Sather is going to make a move, he should base it around obtaining a proven sniper such as Horton or Booth. But deep down inside we know that isn't going to happen. We will see by 3 pm est tomorrow. As of now the Ranger are set to play the Ottawa Senators tonight at 7:30. With about a fourth of our team returning from the Olympic, I expect a hungry squad that is capable of crushing the recently surging Senators. I also expect Torterella to take what he learned in the olympics and relieve Chris Drury of his top six responsibilities. Lets hope that the Rangers continue their pre-olympic streak and make a legitimate push for the playoffs. It they don't turn it around within the next 5 games, its time to start rooting for them to tank and obtain some top draft picks.
