Today I actually got some time to poke around on the internet and once again come to an opinion on the rangers after reading some material online. Everywhere I looked today basically is talking about the lack of chemistry between top 2 centers of the rangers and the top winger on the rangers. And let's face it I am kind of sick of hearing about it. I don't want to have to read this shit every day. So I think that it isn't working yes, do I have a solution no. Well maybe I do. I'd give this situation another 2 weeks to develop in the system, see if Gomez and Jagr can get something going. If not it would be time to look outside the organization to find some help, and no not at the center position. Love'em or hate'em at that point it would be time to look forward with what Sather has done with the organization and start to consider dealing Jagr for a younger talented winger. I think Jagr has been great for the Rangers since he has gotten hear but this year seems to be lacking something. Someone good and young and package in a d-man or 2 for a #1 defenseman to sure up the defense. Try sending Malik, Jagr and Pock to a team and I doubt there would be few teams that wouldn't take that deal. If we get a d-man in return as well as a top line winger, that still leaves the team with an extra defenseman and gets another player on the roster who may better fit the mold of Gomez or Drury.
Let's face it here Jagr has got 1-2 years left, if there is going to be a trade happening it will be with Jagr leaving town to better suit the core of players that are left. Drury, Gomez, Prucha, Dubinsky and Callahan are the future of this team. At least will be a big part of the offense for the next 5 years, Jagr isn't. It's time to start looking past him being the top winger on this team and start getting something going that will help the team now and in the future. If the lines click then awesome, this is just really a worst case look at things. If you think about it though if this team starts wheeling and dealing I think he should be the first one out of town, not any of the youth.
