Center and defensive depth wins Cups. That's why I still believe we can contend this year, regardless of what Ranger fans think. We have any combination of Zajac, Elias, Zubrus, Henrique, Josefson, and Gionta up the middle. We have 8 D-men that can play 20 minutes a night. As long as Brodeur and Hedberg can stay on their games, there is no reason we shouldn't make the playoffs. Hopefully we land Sykora and make a trade for a rental winger. Would be cool to land Ponikarovsky again. I think trading for Weiss could make sense too, if we want to move some guys around.
Kovy - Zajac - Henrique
Sykora - Elias - Zubrus
??? - Josefson - Clarkson
Carter - Gionta - Bernier
Looks fine to me, even without Parise. But it just makes so much sense to trade a D-man for a 2nd/3rd liner to completely balance this team out.
