Gretzky in talks with Rangers about "coming back to hockey in some capacity"

[Crease]

‏@Hope_Smoke
Mckenzie "there has been dialogue between the Leafs, Rangers, Capitals, Kings and Gretzky about coming back to hockey in some capacity"

Mckenzie was on TSN Radio earlier tonight. Also sounded confident that Del Zotto will be moved. Interested in seeing what news comes of this.

fill messier's vacated roll of being in on things within the organization and watching other teams play occasionally?

 

[ajdj10]

He might be able to score a goal or two for us.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

1st line center.

Kreider-Gretzky-Nash

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Well, let's see, Richards is going to be amnestied next year and Brassard might not be back...we do need a Center....


Will he bring his smokeshow of a daughter with him?

 

[RangersHank*]

Give him a 1 year deal, 20 mil

 

[Kakko]

Would probably lead our team in scoring AINEC

 

[bmw2004]

Are we serious?????

 

[Net Front Presence]

I wouldn't mind giving him a few million on a 1 year deal.

 

[RangersFan]

NOOOOOOOOO

If Dolan won't fire Slats he'd never fire Gretzky.

 

[egelband]

Best player ever is offering to associate professionally with the franchise. I don't see a downside.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Not even The Great One can help Boyle score

It's not like they are going to make him an asstitant coach so i don't see the problem with the greatest player ever being in the organization in a non-coach capacity.

 

[RangerBoy]

There is no front office vacancy with the Rangers. Messier didn't see a future in the front office and made a pitch to become head coach.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Max contract, the cap's going up to like a billion zillion

 

[pld459666]

Best player ever is offering to associate professionally with the franchise. I don't see a downside.

as long as he is straight up window dressing, I agree.

if he's looking to lend insight to how a team is built or the type of players we should target, big pass.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

There is no front office vacancy with the Rangers. Messier didn't see a future in the front office and made a pitch to become head coach.

Not only that, but even if there were, theres thousands of people out there more qualified for a front office job than Wayne Gretzky.

 

[Baby Punisher]

I'm rapidly getting to the point where I wish all these old timers would just go away, Sather inculded. Gretzky made a mess of the Coyotes & now he will help Sather make a bigger mess in NY.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

TGO with TLB? BFD.

 

[Gardner McKay]

tgo with tlb? Bfd.

tlb?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

tlb?

That Lying B*****d (an affectionate nickname for our fearless GM from back in the day).

 

[Ail]

TGO with TLB? BFD.

IDK, his BFF TGO?

 

[Kane One]

No thanks.

 

[Fitzy]

I think you are all missing the point here

Second greatest.

Why would anyone not want Gretzky here?

I totally disagree. I think his record in running Phoenix is looked upon as far worse than it really was.
