The connection

As we all know, the New York Rangers and the Edmonton Oilers have made MANY trades over the years. Well, with the Rangers losing their first two games, it is a well known fact that the two franchises will make yet another deal. With the Rangers ONLY having high priced centers, Eric Lindros, Petr Nedved, Bobby Holik, and Mark Messier, they desperately need another top line center. Especially after this dreadful 0 and 2 start.

Enter Mike Comrie



Mike Comrie is a smallish talented center who is holding out with the Edmonton Oilers. Seems that the team cant give Comrie what he wants, AND theres a lil bit of bad blood between him and the fans. So OF COURSE the Rangers are interested. Despite the fact that the Rangers dont have room for another center, and the other fact that just about anyone the Rangers would be willing to trade will be waaay over the Oilers allowance as far as pay goes., the Rangers are having serious talks about aquiring the young sharp passing, sharp shooting little man.

With Comrie being the Oilers top center, one would think that the Oilers would be looking for a center in return.... NOT the case at all. We have learned that they want 4th liners, and over priced D-men. Matt Barnaby, along with Darius Kasparaitis is along the lines of what they are looking for. What team isnt just dying for players like this. The Rangers have no need for a guy like Barnaby anyway. We could care less if hes a great team player, and is buddies with Eric Lindros. He doesnt score 30 goals a year. Kasparaitis? The Rangers dont need yet ANOTHER hard hitting D-man that can aggitate with the best of them. They have the multi talented Vladimir Malakhov who can do everything you could ever ask for from a D-man. Thats ALL they need.

Now the Rangers arent the only team looking to aquire the midgets talents... Western Conference rival Detroit is looking to get him as well. We are sure they can offer up a mean exciting package of Mathieu Dandenault and Darren McCarty to satisfy the Oilers. Why in the world would anyone think that the Oilers need some kind of help at the center position after they deal Comrie? Has anyone seen tha massive amount of talent they have up the middle? With names like Shawn Horcoff, Marty Reasoner, Jarret Stoll, and wingers like Mike York and Ales Hemsky possibly moving to the center slot, the Oilers obviously DO NOT need a top line center in return for Comrie.

As usual the Rangers are the front runners and are most likely to land Mike Comrie.

HEY YOOOOOOOUUUUU GUUUUUUUUUYYYYSSSS!!!!
