FKA Roo Returns...Still A Contrarian Apparently
Clowe would be fine here but not for much. Also, he's on the decline so not worth a big investment. He had his time as a second tier power forward in this league.
Still isn't clear to anyone yet whether SJ will be trading Clowe as a pending UFA (rental) or a guy with his extension pre-arranged.

**Rumor Alert** It would seem that SJ's Ryan Clowe has waived his NTC.
Larry Brooks wrote the Rangers would swap Boyle and a 3rd to rent Clowe but that's about it. He made a mistake with the conditions of the Columbus pick. Its on the column which is only available on the mobile Post website today. The Rangers don't keep the 3rd from Columbus if they reach the Cup final which isn't happening. http://m.nypost.com/f/mobile/sports/islanders/sid_loses_teeth_isles_just_lose_6HvL2L6NY5Np6GApdyyNTI
From your lips to gods ears. Can we please gr more faster , more tougher and more skilled . More younger and more of a puck pressure , counter transition game eater than an endless cycling to oblivion teamso they have 4- 3rds next yr then? That's pretty good if so.
I would hope they dont buy rentals for picks, make hockey trades with guys like Pyatt, Boyle, Gilroy, Eminger, may not get alot back change some personnel
Gaborik is the interesting one. They may find a fit
Would the Rangers take impending free agent winger Ryan Clowe from San Jose in exchange for, say, Brian Boyle and a third-rounder? Sure thing. But would the Sharks make that deal? Extremely unlikely. And why in the world would Rangers general manager Glen Sather be willing to yield more than that when not even Hans Brinker, let alone Clowe, could close all the holes springing in the Blueshirts’ dike?
The Rangers don’t have a first rounder in the upcoming draft— sent to Columbus in the Rick Nash deal—but have a couple of extra thirds coming their way, one from Florida for Wojtek Wolski, another from Nashville in a selection swap last year.
The Blueshirts will forfeit their third to Columbus as part of the third to Columbus as part of the Nash deal if they reach the — ahem—conference finals.
The Blue Jackets also are sending a conditional third-round pick and minor league defenseman Steven Delisle to the Rangers. The third-rounder would return to Columbus if the Rangers reach the Stanley Cup Final.
Clowe hate is ridiculous.
For the right price he is a perfect fit. See all these "moar jam" posts. Yea, let's just keep adding soft perimeter players. "Moar goalz". It's worked well so far.
If by he's the perfect fit because he cant score any goals like the rest of the bottom 6 then you are correct.
Everyone cries for a player to combat someone like Chris Niel. Well Ryane Clowe is that exact type of player. His best days as a top6 power LW may be behind him but he is still a good physical tough SOB of a player. The key here is not to overpay. No way Boyle and a 3rd gets Clowe.

Is Clowe going to Tough the puck in the net ? ASHAM is tough , can shoot and is about as good a skater as Clowe is at this point and the coach won't play him now or want him to fight .
I like Clowe but a bad fit .
YOUNGER
FASTER
HUNGRIER
BETTER SHOOTERS AND THEN DEF TOUGHER .
Right now as soft as NYR are they lack players who can move away from the wall and finish plays in the slot . Clowes Whopoing zero goals aren't helping the team with worst GF in the league .
Scrap this year and don't look back . Total roster overhauls of good teams can be disastrous but THIS ISN'T A GOOD TEAM
