HOLIK A RANGER
Unrestricted free agent center Bobby Holik has signed a five-year, $45 million deal with the Rangers Monday night. Holik played 12 seasons with the Devils, winning two Stanley Cups

Sorry Gang thought it was a big enough story to get it's own thread

How sad will it be when the Rangers have the leagues first $150 million payroll and still can't win the cup?

If sather spends teh bling bling on some defencemen, the off season will be good.

If they keep on throwing money at SUPERSTAR++ players, there may be a sixth straight season with out playoffs.

The Rangers MUST re-sign Ricther, Blackburn is not experienced enough to take the load despite his play eariler in the season.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!

I love it. Finally Sather makes a good move.

Now with Holik this is definetly a Playoff team, and if they can get a couple of more free agents, they can be a legit contender.

But Im not getting ahead of myself, I just want to see playoff hockey again. Great move and a step in the right direction.

1 major move down, 2 to go for the Rangers. This is a great move (for once) by the Blueshirts. Now we need to sign Kasparitis, and resign Richter, and we'll be a playof team.

Absolutely a step in right direction.

And Lent, it isn't just any superstar. Holik is defensive minded, and a character guy. Rangers had plenty of talented players who couldn't or wouldn't lead others, and Messier's injurys/decline seemed to keep him quieter than usual. Holik will be able to stir up the locker room.

As an Islander fan, I must admit that the Rangers made a great move here. Hopefully this makes it easier for us to get Amonte in the process with maybe the Rangers out of the way since you got Holik, but that's another topic.

Congrats from a Isle fan on a great move. It helps the rivalry and makes it more fun, so I don't mind it as much as you think. Now let's see if you blow all the good mood away with an idiotic signing of CuJo or actually continue to do things smartly.

According to ESPN it looks more than likely CUJO is headed to Detroit as expected with the Rangers still having a chance, which means they will have to spend ridiculous amounts of money for maybe a slight upgrade over Richter. Especially they want Blackburn to play more.

Get kasparitus, Amonte, bring back Richter and call it a day.

Jesus H!! Are there any Players the Rangers won't take from the Devils....pretty soon half the team's gonna be across the hudson. That's okay, the Devs will just go out and find them another talented young player to replace the fossils who leave. It's pretty sad when a team goes out and spends shitloads of money on high priced old talent and they can't even make it into the playoffs!

guys the Rangers took from the Devils include John MaClean, Vladimir Malakhov, and now Bobby Holik.

Am I missing anybody else? Your right half the team is heading acrss the hudson. And I am including MaClean there who has been gone for a couple of years.

Let's see, There's talk about Billy Guerin, and they already have Krystof Oliwa. NY's basically the Boneyard for ex-devils. That's okay though, as much as i hate to see Holik go, they'll find replacements that are just as good. The Devs have an awesome farm system and scouts. Look what they've done with guys like Gomez, Elias, and Sykora to name a few. A few years ago they were no-names and look at them now.

Bill Guerin is just a possibility, and has played with 2 teams now since the Devils. Oliwa is an afterthought, and hes been around since playing with the Devils.

And Bruce Driver sucked. I wish he would have stayed in Jersey.

Holik is the best 2 way player out there. I'm glad we picked him up because the whole NHL was interested! One step closer to having a D. Now how about getting a goaltender?? Why did Sather not resign Richter from day 1? Joseph wants a Cup and atleast I knew he didn't want to go to a team that doesn't guarantee him a spot in the playoffs like the Rangers, even if they gave him enough money... What a shock! He went to Detroit and now we MUST sign Richter...

Yeah, Holik is an awesome 2-way player but the Rangers lack talent in coaching to utilize him. Just wait and see, Holik's not going to be utilized as effectively as he was with the Devs....don't ask me how...i just have a feeling. No matter how many big named players the Rangers sign, they need a coach that knows how to use them altogether. Look what happened when the Rangers signed the big baby Gretzky.....absolutely NOTHING!! Bure....NOTHING! Lindros....NOTHING!! Instead of looking to grab all the free agents, the Rangers need to build from within. But then again, as long as there's asses in the seats it's business as usual in NY. Knock the Devs as much as ya'll want, they've won the cup twice in the past 7 years.

You've got a good argument there. Considering that The Rangers went to the Eastern Conference Finals with Gretzky (Beating your Devils in the 2nd Round by the way), Bure has played a grand total of 12 games with the Rangers (12 goals in those 12 games by the way), and Eric Lindros has played 1 season, and it certainly wasnt his fault they didnt make the playoffs last year.

Its 8 years, but who's counting.
