That being said, the Blueshirts claim they wanted old school Canadian grit and frankly that is exactly what they got. Whether it is what will help the franchise in the long term, well we'll have to see, won't we?
If you haven't seen or read we drafted:
Name Round Overall 2009-10 Team Pos. Ht. Wt. Born BirthplaceAnd we dealt Bobby's World to Carolina for the sixth round pick which we spent on that Swedish nobody and for a second rounder next year. The writing has been on the wall for Bobby when the team drafted MDZ and signed Matt Gilroy. The poor kid got a guest spot on Broadway but was banished right back to Hartford after five quick games. It is pathetic when you think about the Rangers dealing the 21st overall pick in '06 away for a second and a sixth. Claude Giroux was picked 22nd, do you think the Flyers would trade him away for that right about now? Glen Sather has made so many solid trades over the last year that it is hard to get too pissed.

No, seriously.
It is in his signings that he has doomed the team to mediocrity so let's accept what happened in L.A. as something to (possibly) dread another day and start focusing on next Thursday. Will Marc Staal hit the market? It's possible. Will Shelley? Will Glen overpay for Frolov?
See! There are plenty of worse things to worry about right now than draft picks and with good ole Glen you know something is going to happen, it is just a matter of what ...

Awesome. I can't wait for Sang to blossom into a staple top six Dman in Carolina. We all know it's going to happen.

Dude, that is the most retarded bit of reasoning I've ever heard. The fact is, Giroux turned into a great player and Sanguinetti did not. Shit happens. That's like getting outraged when the Nets finally dumped Sam Bowie and saying "would the Bulls trade Michael Jordan away for that right about now?"
Also, the Rahgers picked a "Swedish nobody" in the 7th round of the 2000 draft, and I believe that one turned out OK...
Anon, your reasoning is shit as well.
The Bowie comparison doesn't fly here because he didn't get a chance to play, and Sang's still only 22.
Giroux and Sang are actually very comparable in that they both played juniors until they were 20, and then went to the AHL. Both had pretty good seasons in 2008-09, but Giroux actually got the call and made the most of it. Sanguinetti hasn't even been given a fair shake in spite of being the highest scoring defenseman at Hartford at age 21 and 22.
so the reason there is a gap between the rangers and staal is because staal saw redden's contract and is now demanding twice that salary for 13 million. Staal figures he is at least two times better than Redden, so he should get at least twice the pay.
