Barna bye bye?????

With the waiver draft approaching at the end of this week, Rangers GM Glenn Sather has some decisions to make about who he must put on his protected list. There's a bunch of questionable players that he has to choose from.

Theres the energenic Ronald Petrovicky, who is just a - in the +/- column waiting to happen. This guy takes dumb penalty after dumb penalty, and despite playing on two of the teams top lines last year he managed an awesome 5 goals, and 9 assists, while playing with the likes of Nedved, Holik and Messier. I think he should stay.....

Then there's Dan LaCouture. A solid defensive fourth liner, who can pop in the occasional goal, and will drop the gloves if need be. Possibly could slide through untaken, but we wouldn't risk it. I mean with guys like Garth Murray, and Dominic Moore chomping at the bit to get into the NHL, there is NO way you can lose a guy like this in the waiver draft, and expect one of these rookies to come in and play on the 4th line. NO WAY! He has GOT to stay.

With Matthew Barnaby being such a team player and a big surprise to the line-up LAST year, many seem to think HE is the one Sather would pick to leave unprotected. He loves NY, and seems to be buddies with team centerpiece Eric Lindros. OF COURSE HE'S GOIN!!!! While playing all over the line-up last year Mat only finished with 14goals and 22 assists, with a measly +9 rating. And this guy is competing with Petro? Pfffft we think not. See ya Matthew. We can find some OTHER player who wants to be here, and can play on just about any line on THIS here team in NY.

Of course there's Dale Purinton too. This guy just keeps on improving EVERY year. Lets let him go! After all the Rangers just have an abundance of tough stay at home d-men, don't they..... He's not fast enough nor does he score enough to play here in NY. We don't care if he's a big part of the locker room, and how everyone likes him. Petro is waay more important.

There's also the slightly overpaid Darius Kasparaitis. Yeah, yeah, he has come back and is now the player we all thought we were getting when the Rangers signed him last year. Blah, blah, he is hitting like crazy in camp... Wah, wah, wah. There's a CHANCE he doesn't get picked up by anyone. Its not like Dallas or Detroit, or NJ, or Toronto, or Tampa, or half the frikken league can afford him... right? Ahh he can pass through

Some have mentioned Vladimir Malakhov. These people that mention him are obviously insane. After all he's done for the Rangers since signing that long term high priced contract a few years ago? We want to know where these peoples loyalties are. He means so much to the Rangers offense AND defense. He just does SO MUCH!!!!! With Leetch being out for a while, Vladdy is needed sooooooooooooooooo much, because of what he does on both sides of the puck. Never mind that jargon about him ALWAYS being hurt especially around the time of trade rumors and trade deadlines. Never mind that crapolla about him not showing up 3/4 of the time. Who CARES if he looked like a totally different player, when he kicked total ass in the Olympics for team Russia, only to come back and play like he did before the Olympics on the Rangers (what some may call SHIT). He's too valuable. This guy is all heart. Its not like he's the guy who got caught skiing (by his then team the Canadiens), when he was supposed to be sidelined for the year with some major injury. Who was that anyway?

So, the obvious choice to let go are Barnaby, Purinton or Kasparaitis. A guy the Rangers picked up off of waivers last year, Ronald Petrovicky is WAAAAY more important to this Rangers team than any of these guys we mention above.

....and oh yeah, we didnt kill Cyrus...

Stay tuned, stay strong, and stay gold. You're the best around, nobody can ever keep you down. Hold me?....

Quiet before the storm.

Well, its quiet out there. Too quiet. You know what that means? Thats right! BIG MOVES! Man-o-man. Its about to get crazy around Ranger land and we here at Badseedsnewsrumorsandalloutbullshit, are the only ones to know about it. Because as we all know, you are mad cool if you are the first to break a story. Mad cool yo!!!! Heres whats up:

With Brian Leetch being out till 2020, the Rangers are ready to give the top slot to John Jakopin. Jakopin is a journeyman d-man who hasnt done squat in the NHL. He is big though.......

Tom Poti is still on the hot seat as reported not too long ago by our own Tito Santana. Poti's good offensive numbers from last year are the demise of Tom "poke check" Poti (cute lil name designated to Mr Poti by many Ranger fans). Also the fact that Poti is allergic to many foods is another reason why Sather is upset with the 26 year old allstar offensive D-man, who was in the tops of the NHL for scoring for defensemen last season. With Poti gone, this gives Rangers prospect Fedor Tjutin the job he definately deserves. I mean Hockeysfuture says hes good, so he should be able to slide right in over any Ranger prospect. Right? Hockeysfuture is the best, and they know their stuff. Just like how they didnt know jack about Bryce Lampman over the years. Oh, wait thats bad isnt it? Well atleast they give Jake Taylor a good review. Hes gonna be great!!!!!!! Again, those guys are great over there. They dont have old scouting reports or ANY made up crap at all. Working here at Badseedsnewsrumorsandalloutbullshit is a hard job. Imagine how hard it is to work for them!!!!!

Its been reported that Anson Carter is in good spirits so far in camp. Playing pretty well on a line with Eric Lindros and Martin Rucinsky is a good sign of things to come. Whats to come? Jaromir Jagr of course. Carter only scored 5 points in the last 11 games of the year after being dealt to the Rangers. This isnt good, and this means he will play badly this coming year. Dont worry Ranger fans. This is GOOD news. Remember who the Washington Capitals wanted for Jagr? Well come on! Everybody knows they wanted Anson Carter!!!!! EVERYBODY. Anson will pay for not carrying this team last year, while we can praise the excellent no show by Alex Kovalev. I just dont think Carter can play in this conference, no matter how good he was when he was on Boston a few years ago. Add on that he is having an absolutely brutal camp (right?), and its obvious he has to go. Him playing a power type of game cant help the Rangers anyway. Not one bit. Hooray for Jagr! Hes as good as ours! Nothing against Carter, because I dont have any problem with him at all. I just dont like him, and dont think hes anywhere near the player Ryan Smyth is (despite the amazingly close #'s), and I'd trade him in a second for Calgary Flames future HOFer defenseman Denis Gauthier. BTW I just got my new Bob Bougner fan club shirts in the mail today. Want one gimme an E-mail. White power!!!!!!

Thats it for now, and remember to stay tuned and believe everything other people say, especially when its on the internet. We love you, want to have your children, will do anything for you, and most of all we care.

and yes H.1. and G.O., Im just fuckin with yas, that is if you even read this thing.

Leetch out

Well one of our Canadien sources tell us that Brian Leetch will be out of the Rangers line-up until the year 2005. Since everyone in the Rangers organization seems to think that he will only miss one or two pre-season games, and have said so over and over again we are forced to beleive our Canadian source instead, since people from Canada know EVERYTHING....

With Leetch on the shelf until 2008, our high flying writer Tito has come up with some hot HOT HOT rumors from his sources around the world... Heres some good inside stuff from the one they call "El Matador".


An inside source has told me that Brian Leetch will be out until the 2010 season. With this being the case, this gives Ranger GM Glenn Sather the chance to move players like Tom Poti and Eric Lindros. Its very well known that Sather is VERY disapointed in Potis play from last year. Poti being one of the top offensive D-men in the league in the 02/03 season has not set well with Sather. Also on the way out is Dan Blackburn. Why? Because. Just listen. Jean-Sebastien Giguere is unsigned. This young goalie had a great year last year and is obviously better than Blackburn. Since Blackburn is now hurt with a pinched nerve in his shoulder (may be out a couple of weeks), there arent any young goalies that can be in Hartford OR be the back-up in NY. Simply cant have that. Ranger fans demand it. So The Rangers are going to trade tom Poti and Dan Blackburn for Giguere, then turn around and trade Dunham to Colorado, who in turn trade him to Philly, who then turn around and deal him to Calgary. This IS NOT some made up rumor, it is legit. Its right here on the internet, and I have sources that I cant reveal.

Rangers get Giguere

Ducks get Poti and Blackburn

Rangers trade Dunham to Colorado for Skoula (to make deVries comfortable), and Hinote (Rangers lost McCarthy and ONLY added Simon, they need MORE toughness, since McCarthy had a billion fights last year)

Avs trade Dunham to Philly for Hacket and draft picks (Avs will stock up for post CBA)

Philly trades Dunham to Flames for Iginla (Calgary NEEDS goaltending to compete!!!!!!!!!!!)

THEN the Rangers will trade Lindros for a capable back-up for Giguere. My source says the Rangers would love to land Trevor Kidd as a fair return. "Lindros didnt do crap last year, I want him gone, I dont care if they trade him for that piece of shit no talent goalie Trevor Kidd." Is what my source said. "Thank god Messier is back, otherwise there would be no reason to watch the Rangers!!!" "They dont have ANY talent on that team besides Messier and Leetch." "Get Lindros, Dunham, and Poti outta here." You see the Ducks in the cup finals last year? Get me their goalie, Gigorian or what ever his name is. HES good, not this Dunham guy." Dunham is too old and hasnt done shit in the NHL".

Again this is real stuff and not made up. I have sources. I'd give you more stuff but my source will be plenty upset that I spilled these. So Stay tuned for more action....Never forget how awesome Strike Force was....

Thats it for today, stay tuned as it looks like things are gonna get hot around Ranger land. Remember we want to have your children, and we care.

The BIG news

With all of this talk about Mark Messier possibly re-signing with the NY Rangers any damn day now, many have missed the other big news involving Mark. No not the birth of his son. No not that he caught tons of keeper blues this summer.

Mark has been a part of another organization away from the NHL. He has finally cut all ties with that organization. That organization? Cobra. "Destro", aka Mark Messier has finally called it a career in the terror business. Messier recently sat down with one of our elite writers Booger, and dropped the big one.

Messier seen here contemplating, just moments before his decision

"Im an old man. I cant keep doing this AND the NHL thing" says Messier. Mark has been fighting the forces of good for what seems like 20 years (I didnt ask how long it was because then I'd come off as gay). Add playing full-time in the NHL, and that can strain anybody out. "I decided its one or the other, and came to the conclusion that Im actually better at hockey than I am at winning wars, or even battles for that matter, with the Joes". "I know that a lot of players laugh at me. Thats OK, I would too, I mean how long was I getting my ass kicked by guys named Duke, Snake eyes, and fuckin Footloose". Far too long in this writers eyes. "This way I can devote all my time to the Rangers, and not have the burden of kissing Cobra Commanders ass all the time, no matter how stupid his ideas are." When asked if dealing with Sather was the same way, he repied with;"Glenn? No way. Hes my boy, he does what I tell him to. Without him still being employed by MSG, I wouldnt have a job, and vice versa." With a ton of spare time, Mark has been working out, and has changed his diet. Hes leener than ever. "Ive lost 15 pounds since the end of last season, and have seemed to shrink in height. I dont get it. All this from jazzersizing, and eating tons of fruit? I feel good... I feel Haaapppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." I HAD to ask Mark if he knew what Robster Craws were, but he had no response... Mark is still unsigned as of September 2. Boy, do the Rangers need him eh?
