it was a good trade for the Rangers IMHO, doesn't settle any of their needs BUT gets rid of Carter who was sucking ASS this year. He got ENDLESS chances to score and shot the puck over the god damn net. COUNTLESS times... it made me sick. A player like Jagr will help, but not a lot. Their defense is fucking crippled after losing Kasparaitis and DeVries, they definetly need something else there. They need a dependable backup too, with Dunham and Blackburn out. It was obvious how much LaBarbera and Markkanen sucked in that last game against the Senators, UGH. Terrible game. As far as deals go, the Rangers got the better end. As far as needs go, the Caps got it. Heh, maybe the Rangers can use Jagr as bait for a great defenseman. I'd always wanted to see Nik Lidstrom play for the Rangers...
