according to RangerNation on myspace. Betts got picked up by the Oilers. =( I can't believe we let him go...

[BleedingRangersBlue]

[matteodiproductions]

Gomez is an overpaid fidiot that was sent to rob MTL.

lol man mcdonagh is a heck of a prospect

[Showmeyourtitties]

@TheDeviLLL Crap shit? Ryan McDonagh is crap shit? He is one of the highest scouted defensive draft picks currently in the system. Enjoy paying that smirking mexican to skate really fast into the offensive zone and then do absolutely nothing.

They should have cleared Higgins and re-signed Kovalev and Tanguay instead of getting Gomez . . . 1 - Cammelleri - Plekanec - Kovalev 2 - Gionta - Lang - Tanguay 3 - S.Kostitsyn - Lapierre - A.Kostitsyn 4 - Laraque - Metropolit - Kostopoulos * Latendresse . . . 1 - Markov - Gorges 2 - Hamrlik - O B'yrne 3 - Spacek - Gill * Mara 1 - Carey Price 2 - Jaroslav Halak

great trade... worked out for both... the only way it will really be good for ny is if gaborik isn't hurt

[SeanAveryBroadway]

It'll work for both. The Rangers had to unload Gomez, as much as I liked him. Out of the big 4 contracts, he was most moveable. I thought the Rangers would get nothing back for him in a salary dump.

Instead, you get back Higgins, who does EVERYTHING and has great hands. To get a guy who could put 30+ up in a move like this is fantastic. Higgins will be great for the Rangers.

You basically dealt away Gomez and his cash to get Higgins, and free room for Gaborik.

Great couple of moves.

The Habs are looking nasty right now.

pyatt was another big part of the trade,, great defensive forward

[RangerFan1994Rocks]

Idk because Gomez is mostly a set up man so he didn't do much. Also, Higgins can score goals and loves hockey. I am somewhat happy though because Higgins lives around the block from me.
