Okay it's over, dead and forgotten (hopefully). Nice to see Brandon back, now we can get on with our lives. As per Andrew Gross tweeting:
Dubinsky's contract calls for $1.7 million this season and $2.0 the next. The Rangers finally moved up to meet his demands.
I honestly can't believe that Sather gave in, and gave Dubinsky more money than he was reportedly asking for. You know what, this whole thing has been weird, let's just forget it and move on. Stick salute to B4mv01 for breaking the story.
Update: Oh and suddenly things start coming out of the bag now that everything is all good and dandy. As per Steve Zipay:
The 23-year-old center ends his eight-day holdout with a pact beleived to be worth about $2 million. Solves a big issue for the Blueshirts. GM Glen Sather told Dubinsky that he was to skate at the training centter and be ready for practice Monday.
Dubinsky originally was seeking $16 million for four years; the Rangers one-year qualifying offer was $522,500 this summer. In this dea, Dubinsky, who as a youngster, wore Rangers jerseys thanks to his dad, who lived on Long Island.
Well now for all of yuo who played the "oh poor Dubinsky" card think again. I knew that there had to be something wrong with reports that Dubinsky only wanted 1.4 million for a year. But eaither way we can all agree a 4 year 4 million dollar deal would have been a joke. Whatever it's dead, thank God.

Got an update for you Joe! Look at what Zipay says at here.
Dubinsky originally was seeking $16 million for four years
WOW!
"Malik now." "6 foot 6, 238, not a noted goal scorer but he's gonna give it a shot here." "Malik has not scored this year. In on Kolzig, faked it....SCORES"
Sorry, but whoever decided that was the number they should ask the Rangers for is effing delusional, whether it was Dubinksy, his agent, his Mom, his Dad, or Hugh the Polar Bear from Ice Road Truckers

YES!!
THANK GOD HES FINALLY SIGNED!!!
2 years.. 1.85 a year sounds just about right for dubinsky..
WOOOOH!!!
only bad thing is now lisin + grachev dont make it..
hey think of it this way.. next year we dont resign higgins or prospal, and we can keep the russian line together..
Prospal-dubinsky-gaborik
Higgins-Drury-Kotalik
Avery-Anisimov-Lisin
Brashear-Boyle-Voros
Staal-Gilroy
Rozsival-Girardi
Redden-MDZ?
Semenov
callahan?
u forgot callahan buddy.. put him in there instead of lisin..
other than that yer pretty set..
so far, including todays game, mdz has been impressive
Now we get.......
to wonder about how we are gonna sign Staal and Girardi after the 09-10 season….LOL!!!!!
another year to speculate redden trades!
and maybe just maybe he shows reason to earn even half of his contract so another team can bite!
We will deal with that when it comes. Ok, ready for next drama rofl

Have to say I'm surprised
Honestly I’m glad it’s over,with that said I’m very suprised with the outcome.I honestly felt Sather was doing the right thing.Now it’s time for Brandon to put up or shut up (the numbers that is)Brandon got what he wanted, now give us what we need!
I hope Ranger fans realize we have little to NO room in the cap after this deal,and with Gaborik who is already starting to have some complications with the groin.This deal may have proven to hurt this team more than people might expect.
That’s a really good point Pauly. And you’re dead on about the cap situation – I have to wander over to capgeek and see what it all means in real $$ terms – but there’s no flex now.
If you look at the way the team played last night in Detroit – they might have won that game by 2-0 if Lundqvist had played the whole game.
With Lisin, Grachev and others available, even if Gaborik goes down for an extended period, they have enough weapons under a pressure offense to get the job done.
Time will certainly tell what this means over the long haul.
OK – now that I’ve played the #‘s game on Capgeek I’m less concerned.
They can carry a 23 man roster (admittedly right up against the cap) if they want.
Marian Gaborik — $7,500,000
Chris Drury — $7,050,000
Ales Kotalik — $3,000,000
Ryan Callahan — $2,300,000
Chris Higgins — $2,250,000
Sean Avery — $1,937,500
- Brandon Dubinsky — $1,850,000
Donald Brashear — $1,400,000
Vaclav Prospal — $1,150,000
Aaron Voros — $1,000,000
Artem Anisimov — $821,666
Enver Lisin — $790,000
Brian Boyle — $525,000
Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau — $500,000
DEFENSEMEN
Wade Redden — $6,500,000
Michal Rozsival — $5,000,000
Matt Gilroy — $1,750,000
Daniel Girardi — $1,550,000
Bobby Sanguinetti — $855,000
Marc Staal — $826,666
Corey Potter — $550,000
GOALTENDERS
Henrik Lundqvist — $6,875,000
Steve Valiquette — $725,000
CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS
ROSTER SIZE 23
SALARY CAP $56,800,000
PAYROLL $56,705,832
BONUSES $0
CAP SPACE $94,168
Or they can carry 22 by adding Grachev and dropping Voros and Parenteau and have about 925k left.
I WAS RIGHT ALL THE TIME......(yeah right)
I said for a long time that he wanted more money than advertised…..Sater really stuck to his guns and bent a little bit…..Dubi had to swallow his pride and he did the right thing….now lets move on boys for the journey ahead which hopefully leads to a great season !!!……………..
Who comes off the cap next season?
Do any players come off the cap next year?Just thinking about the next headache I have to endure come July 1st 2010 with Staal and Girardi…..Girardi as good as he is, may be expendable because of the depth of our yound Dmen like Gilroy, Sangs,Heillkenan and MDZ but Staal is a no brainer must sign. Does anyone know ?
another end.
Kessel’s been traded to the leafs for draft picks
That news is already known throughout this site. See here: http://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2009/9/18/1037086/kessel-to-toronto-seems-confirmed
"Jaromir Jagr.... it's a POWER PLAY GOAL!"

Now we can begin our cup run(extreme sarcasm) In a few weeks everyone is going to see that Dubi is not upper tier player that they all are touting him as.
whoever said this was about kessel was probably right
thank god i can keep my screename for two more years now…let’s hope dubi shows up with his playoff face on.
