Foudn via Kuklas Corner:
The contract situation is the same as it has been for weeks. The Rangers have their one-year qualifying offer of $522,500 on the table to Dubinsky that represents nearly an 18-percent cut in pay from last year, when he earned $635,000, including Entry Level bonuses.
Ha! I've enjoyed making fun of Sather in this space this summer, and if stuff like this keeps up there'll be plenty more in the future. Ol' Glen has already chased Nik Zherdev out of town. Now, in the same off-season in which he signed washed-up enforcer Donald Brashear to a $1.4M contract, he's nickle-and-diming Brandon Dubinsky. Hands up those of who think Brashear will be of more value to the club? I didn't mention the 700k deal for Tyler Arnason (who is, quite frankly, terrible at this point in his career), but you get the picture.
Has anyone taken a close look at the Rangers roster recently? Delete Marian Gaborik (since he's a good bet to be out of the line-up for a third of the season) and things get scary fast. Look at the blueline...they still only have 5 NHL defensemen by my count.
I don't think I'll ever stop asking this, but...how do Rangers fans put up with this?
