brodeurrocks Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 A salary dump for the Rangers. Maybe Cullen will come around again in Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 If they parlay this into getting Peca it will suck even more. Nice 2.3M salary dump by the Rags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msweet Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 How did NYR dump salary and get players/picks in return? Canes are idiots.... even if they wanted Cullen, they could have gotten him for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't dump him for nothing. Andrew Hutchinson is minor league depth and so's the other guy - and the pick isn't worth that much. While Cullen sucks, I think he'd fetch that return from a few other teams. the good thing about Peca is that he can't score goals anymore, and he's not exactly the picture of health. Should be interesting to see who they do pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Parise9's post makes the most sense here. Who are the good penalty killers on the Rangers now? Ortmeyer is gone, and now Cullen is, too. It's a questionable move for the NYR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTCB Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Who are the good penalty killers on the Rangers now? Drury is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 yeah Drury/player X works, along with Straka and someone else for the second line - I think they'll do okay. finding penalty killers isn't *that* hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestevens Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 How do they stop the power play without Cullen? Easy they dont. Cullen also wasnt bad on offense, 16 goals and 25 assist isnt bad. This just puts them in worse position because everyone knows defense wins championships, theyre trying to overpower that. Which isnt possible with teams like Detriot, the Ducks, and maybe even the good old Jersey Devils can come on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'll never forget Cullen's crazy "let me skate 9000 MPH towards the net and then shoot" shootout goal on Marty earlier this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilish34 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Drury is excellent. As is Gomez so I'd say they are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Trying to spin this one into a bad move by the Rags is nuts. Carolina is the team that went brain dead on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njskaguy33 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 This is definately the work of two desperate teams...Carolina is desperate to re-create the magic from 2006 and the Rags are desperate to dump payroll. I think getting Yashin would be farfetched but then again I would have said the same about them getting Drury and Gomer two weeks ago....

stevestevens Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Gomez commonly played pretty akwardly on the penalty kill, he relied on other to help him... whos he going to rely on now for penalty kills...Jagr? Shanahan? Straka? Hardly powerplay killers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestevens Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 He was a good player i think. My brothers a big rags fan and he is trying to call the bright side of this and i keep saying "who will get the power play" He calls Betts.. Drury, then i said whos next and his answers from there where all questions. Everyone knows their defense and penalty kill to them isnt a plan a, b or c. Its their plan f. And honestly, with Avery being a leader in receiving penalties, youre not going to get as far as you would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'd say about 80% of Ranger fans would disagree with you...I'd walk away from Avery (or deal him) rather than move Cullen, however where Sather really went wrong here was Lundquist for 4.25. Ward / Miller were the comparisons - they both make in the 2.5 range. Even if Slats went to 3.5 with Henrik he was certainly giving enough...if Henrik didn't like that he should have taken him to arbitration and let the chips fall.
