John Dellapina on XM
Posted On Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at at 1:18 PM by Pucks on BroadwayA great interview (as always) by NYR journalist guru John Dellapina. A few tidbits to chew on:
- No one is really sure what Jagr is going to do. He wants to stay a Ranger, but feels that his price is based on his worthiness to the organization. Interesting perspective. Wouldn't call is selfish, but I wouldn't call it completely reasonable either.
- Avery is all but gone. Not said directly like this, but barring some miracle offer, Avery is likely to chase money.
- Shanahan isn't likely to come back because of all of the players he keeps off the ice with his ice time, i.e. Petr Prucha.
- The Rangers aren't likely to spend big on the top players, particularly with successful rookies a year or two away. (Sound familiar?)
- Dan Boyle is still highly coveted and possible if he is indeed available.
