Redden did play better under Torts, although he probably would have had to hold his stick upside down to have played worse than he did under Renney.

Scott Gomez for Heatly. Heatly is the scorer the rangers need.

there’s nothing wrong with dreaming.

But this isn’t happening.

I hope the rangers can get him, but they would need to get rid one of the over payed players the rangers have, which isn’t too likely with their lack of production.

I would package Gomer for him, no doubt about it.

So offer Wade Redden for Heatley strait up.
Just think of the headlines Murray.
Wade Redden the homecoming 2009-10!!!
Redden Back in Ottawa!!!

multi-pronged attack idea

1: rumors sj wants to make some major changes, call and inquire about thornton….gomez/korpikoski/a pick or two? salaries almost offset, though something else would probably have to be given up to sj (possibly sanguinetti?)…yes gomez has a no/limited trade clause, but maybe he’ll agree, can’t hurt to ask

2: kick the tires on heatley, maybe roszival (shorter contract at less $) and a sign & trade with zherdev? they save some money and get a younger scoring winger back

3: see about dealing redden to a team with cap room for next to nothing or, if need be, waive him

the point here is that sather f’d up royally paying top salaries to second tier players like drury and gomez….if you’re gonna pay 7-7.5 mil/year for somebody, they have to be upper echelon players

odds of this happening anywhere but in my mind: zero….but i can dream….

he would be the sniper the rangers need a 50 goal scorer he has a monster contract also give them gomez or drury and rosival the senators are just looking to slash payroll the thing is ottawa is not stupid and they are going to want some of the big three we have stahl dubinsky and callahan does sather bite ?? only time will tell ………

i’d add anisimov, grachev and del zotto to that list of ’don’t move unless it’s for a player like ovechkin or malkin’

sather pulled off a shocker last year trading for zherdev, maybe he pulls another rabbit out of his as—er….hat….and does something at the draft?

redden, roszival, drury, gomez….the sather legacy lives on….
