Makes you wonder if they're gearing up for a major run at a certain free agent currently in Dallas.

Sounds like they plan on living up to their annual reputation. Big spenders on UFAs hoping it pays off.

Just remember Chris, you can always come "home"

I said it before, say it again, it's NYR or LA for Richards.

To Colorado? Or Connecticut?

You never know with Drury, he might just sign for $1 million with a cup contender.

They are keeping Wolski for at least this year according to the NY Post. They are only buying out Drury which is smart. Wolski has the problem Gaborik has, the Rangers bring in scorers but they struggle there. They need to get more homegrown talent like Stepan. You can't blame the Rangers but its like a death sentence to hyped players. They need to motivate Gaborik or get him some real help. Thats too much talent going to waste. You can say what you want about his hustle or work ethic but hes a special player.
