SUNDIN ON BROADWAY !

1st of all, stop shouting all the time. We hear you. EMPHASIZE if you must. We'll get it.
2nd of all - Sundin to the Rangers has already been shot down by NY.
Do you do any research before you post your drivel?
Let's say this WAS a possibility, despite the fact that it's been debunked multiple times.
Sundin will get at LEAST $7M per. The Rangers currently sit at $52.4M - the Cap is $56M.
We'd have to dump AT LEAST $7M to sign Sundin, as we need some cushion under the cap for call-ups, etc.
Sundin is a 1st line center. That pushes Gomez to the second line and Drury to the third, or to Gomez' wing which Drury has difficulty playing.
NEVERMIND the fact that NY has committed $8M to Gomez, $7M to Drury, $6.5M to Redden, and $7.75M to Lundquist for next year.
That's approximately $29M committed to just 4 players next year.
and EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS A NO TRADE CLAUSE.
So, where do you propose the Rangers cut $7M to add Sundin, (who would likely only sign for a year, maybe two) just to bury the two centers we committed to for the next 4 years?
No Brainer?
Do you even think before you post this drivel?

IM NOT GONNA GET INTO NUMBERS NOW BUT WITH A LITTLE SHIFTING AND SOME TRADES IT CAN BE DONE HE WOULD BE SIGNED ON AN OVER 35 CONTRACT MAYBE INCENTIVE DRIVEN AS JAGS CONTRACT WAS.THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AND HE WOULD BE A GOOD FIT ON THIS TEAM.EVEN IF IT MEANS TRADING PRUCHA,BETTS AND KALININ AND BRINGING UP SOME YOUNG GUYS TO PLAY DEFENSE THEN THATS WHAT SHOULD BE DONE .THIS MAN WOULD CHANGE THE OUTLOOK FOR NEXT SEASON.DOES THAT MAKE IT CLEAR ENOUGH?

Again - do some research - it's the last year of the CBA.
Unless the NHLPA agrees to extend it, there are NO bonus clauses for next year.
That's right, None.
Because, if there is to be a NEW collective bargaining agreement, the NHL does NOT want any money carrying over in the form of bonuses.
That's yet another reason why Slats and Jagr parted ways.
read here: TSN talks all about it and it's been confirmed by the NHL.

Jeez dude, do you do ANY research before you type your idiotic all caps idiocy?

BY THE WAY I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GET YOUR FACTS BUT THE ISLANDER GAVE DOUG WEIGHT AN INCENTIVE LADEN CONTRACT . GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT.

You are so wrong.
Do some research. please.
here's John Dellapina of teh NY Daily News relaying an email from the NHL regarding no bonuses:
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/rangers/2008/07/no-bonus-cushion-for-potential.html

and a side note -
Jagr's previous deal was the only one that survived the last CBA, it is the EXACT reason why the "no bonus in the final year" clause is in place in the last year of the CBAs going forward.
It's called research - look into it.

well here is were you heard it first inside this little blog. This is the news that, when it happens you can write me a note of apology. I may not facts to prove this is true for reasons i dont need to explain to you or anyone else lets just say, SUNDIN IS GONNA BE ON BROADWAY ! I dont know if you relize that the NYR can make cap room with some shifting of players. there are many ways to skin a cat and thats just what they will do youll see Im reporting it first . Sorry my caps botered you so much,guess you dont read stans blogs!

Anyone who has to post in all caps to get their point across is a weak writer.
And, I notice NO COMMENT again when I offer you facts that scuttle your wild statements.
Whoops! NO more Bonus clauses!
Tell us, oh great prognosticator - how EXACTLY will the Rangers shed cap space to fit Sundin at $7M per?
None of this "shift a little here and there".
Tell us who goes, and how it will work.
Good luck.

Oh, wait .
Liars "don't need to explain" themselves.
Well, that just discounts you as a credible source..
good luck with your lies, I won't do your research for you anymore.
I'm done with you and your fantasies that have no basis in reality because you choose to ignore the real world facts that scuttle your beliefs.
and, um - a REAL blog is hosted on your own site, not on yardbarker.
I'd direct you to mine, but since you prefer not to bother with facts, i won't bother.

FIRST OF ALL I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU HEARD THAT THERE ARE NO INCENTIVE LADEN CONTRACTS BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ISLANDES RECENT SIGNING IN DOUG WEIGHT YOULL SEE YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG SO IF ANYONE DOSENT HAVE THEIR FACTS RIGHT ITS YOU . SO PLEASE IF YOUR GONNA REBUKE MY ARTICLE DO IT CORRECTLY MY DEAR MAN . AS FAR AS WHAT THE RANGERS WOULD NEED TO DO ,THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THEY CAN GO ABOUT IT . THEY MAY NEED TO TRADE PRUCHA , KALININ , OR POSSIBLY EVEN MARA THEY WILL HAVE TO BRING UP A DEFENSEMAN FROM HARTFORD ,AND I REALLY DONT SEE ANY OF THESE MOVES BEING THAT DETRAMENTAL TO TEAM THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS THAT CAN BE MOVED TO CREATE CAP SPACE . SUNDIN WOULD BE SIGNED TO AN OVER 35 CONTRACT WITH LIKE I SAID BEFORE INCENTIVES . SO PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT ! !! ! !

You are so wrong.
once again,
Do some research. please.
here's John Dellapina of the NY Daily News relaying an email from the NHL regarding no bonuses:
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/rangers/2008/07/no-bonus-cushion-for-potential.html

Just to clarify:
What I am talking about (and the NHL is referring to) is that bonuses that would add up to more than the $56M cap are not allowed.
Bonuses you can fit UNDER the cap are.
Hence, Sundin or Jagr weren't options to sign to a bonus deal that would add up to more than $56M this year, so neither were offered one.
Read the Dellapina article.
research is an amazing thing...
you should look into it!

PLEASE SOMEONE BESIDES MYSELF EXPLAIN TO THIS GUY THAT IF THE NYR WANT SUNDIN THEY CAN MAKE THE CAP ROOM FOR HIM .

Well obviously I'm talking about incentives that fit into your cap space . But what that does is it insures the player will play up to his potential by adding a sweetener to his contract now if you did all this research then do some research and you will see that the NYR can make room like i previously said and furthermore NY is on SUNDINS radar and I'm pretty sure if a player of his caliber wants to play here and possibly end his great NHL career here Glen Sather will make it happen . Changes will happen , and if your a RANGER fan you wont be mad at making room for SUNDIN would ya ?

Based on your previous statements, it seemed to me you meant a normal 35 and over Bonus that would be carried over, like the previous years, NOT what is available this year.
You need to be more clear when you write if that's what you meant.

Never said I didn't want Sundin, just said we can't fit him and He's NOT on the Rangers radar anymore. I would have killed for a Sunding/jagr signing.
Slats went the other way, and even made the mistake of not re-sigtning Avery.
The team is different now and Sather has remade it completely.
FYI:
The Rangers owe next year:
Prucha - 1.6M
Mara - 1.95
Kalinen got a no movement clause when he signed two weeks back.
So those three won't cut it.
Next season we have committed
$8M to Gomez
$7.1M to Drury
$5M to Naslund
$3.25M to Zherdev (the best move of the summer for NY)
$6.5M for Redden (No trade Clause)
$5M for Rozsival
$2.1 for Kalinen (No movement clause)
$7.75 for Lundqvist
That's around $44M for those players, NOT counting Dan Fritsche who just signed for an unknown amount (rumoured to be $875K)
the cap is $56M

Even if NYR Dumps
Prucha($1.6M),
Mara($1.95M),
Girardi($1.5M But we'd be fools to trade him), and
Rismiller ($1M)
that's less than $6M, not enough room.

If somehow miraculously they signed Sundin,
That means we'd have 5 Centers, few wings, no room to sign Shanahan, and and with a weaker defense playing in front of King Henrik.

just saying, based on the Facts,
it ain't gonna happen.

Wishing and hoping won't make it so.

listen I know it dosent look like its gonna happen but ,I feel this move is gonna take place and yes alot of dumping of salary is gonna also happen in order for it to work , thats is exactly why I didnt get into particulars with you because its gonna be tricky and we have wingers that are in the system as well as defenseman . The team will look alot different then it does right now but you dont think that were gonna stand pat right now do you ? we still need wingers as is right now . W you believe what you may but remember I told you about this . peace ,and LETS GO RANGERS !

I LOVE CAPITAL LETTERS. RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Mookie seems to have a personal vendetta against me . Maybe It's a bit of jealousy
