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...
