Da Vinci Code is a lousy book by the way.
In response to what you're saying though you have to be happy with your core. On your team there is more reason to be and if Renney were still here--there probably wouldn't be so many changes. Tortorella though was not happy with a number of players and with the overall conditioning of the team he inherited. The Rangers as well were too small and not aggressive enough to compete seriously with the better teams. The Rangers as well have a lot coming from their farm system--a lot more than the Devils by the way--though some of what's coming probably won't work out as well as we hope. Even so--we have the deepest group of prospects I ever remember us having (and I've been a Rangers fan since the early 70's)--at least apart from in goal. For instance looking at our D and not including Staal and Girardi--we have 9 guys who have a reasonable to excellent shot at becoming NHL defensemen--Gilroy, Sanguinetti, MDZ, Heikkinen, Potter, McDonagh, Valentenko, Kundratek and Williams.
