Boy, would it be nice to have a cheap ($2m or less) third line center with size and that can win face offs. Hmm....think there is one on Tampa.
The Rangers will not be able to afford MSL at his current salary next year. They may not even be able to afford him at $3m.I know Marty is playing for the NHL minimum next season.

He's not even a 4th line center. He's a 4th line LW who can take faceoffs.

What?
Boyle is not TBL's 3rd line center, and his ice time clearly reflects that.
I wanted to keep him, but Boyle was an offensive black hole whenever he was asked to play 3C. Great 4C, terrible 3C.

The Rangers do not have a 1st round pick to give up. And if they did, they still should not discard it again. Trading a 1st & second is very steep.
Anyone know if the scuttlebutt on Vermette has any truth? (That we are interested, who would be in play etc)
Disagree with this.
There is a time to hold on to draft picks and there is a time where you shouldn't let picks keep you from making moves. It was stupid when the Rangers were tossing around seconds for Antropov and Clowe but this team has a legitimate shot at making a run. Moving cheap roster players is one thing, but they shouldn't let a few draft picks get in the way of making any moves.
Anyway, Bob Mackenzie (who is as tied into these things as anyone) has speculated that the price for Vermette would be a 2nd and a decent prospect. Maybe they can stretch a late first out of someone, but the Rangers have two seconds to move and really, they should both be in play provided that the player coming back is a legitimate upgrade.
I tend to agree but for some reason I am having bad visions of the Rangers getting way to caught up in a bidding war that leads to them moving cheap, young, good/decent roster players

I support this ideaHere's a crazy idea.
Let's NOT get involved in the stupid bidding war Vermettes availability will create.
He would be welcome on this team's 3rd line. Not sure how you came to the conclusion that he is not a center.Boyle isn't a 3rd line center. He's not even a 4th line center. He's a 4th line LW who can take faceoffs.
How much of a black hole is he looking like now? And how is Moore's production level?Boyle is not TBL's 3rd line center, and his ice time clearly reflects that.
