I think it's awesome. This is like one of my "dream seasons" that I play on PS2 with EA's "NHL" games. Finally the Pens can afford to sign all the guys who would normally be in the Rangers' locker room. I think they're looking deep into the playoffs this year. No more "rebuilding".
As far as Niedermayer, I think they left off trying to sign him after they signed Gonchar. I think he re-signed with New Jersey after that.
I'm glad, too, that we got Palffy. I always liked him as a player and I can't wait to see what they do with him when it comes linewise.
Well then that settles it :) Jersey can keep their triple Scott line (Stevens, Gomez, Niedermayer) and we can beat them with our special Gonchar powers! we needed more goal-scoring defencemen on our team; and we got one! not to say that dick tarnstrom didn't score goals- he did!- but another goal-scorer wouldn't be terrible to have on our side.

'cause, you know, the Rangers have been doing so well with them.
Maybe i'm just biased by being from SE Michigan, but I think the league could do well to look to the example of the Red Wings from a few years ago: guys who individually are not well known, may not have great individual stats, and definitely don't have massive superstar egos, but play beautifully and well together as a team. The Rangers have a bunch of guys with intimidating individual stats, but as the shirt goes, they don't play well with others.
and that would be the one reason why i never pay any attention to the rangers.
i do think that detroit has a wonderful team and i'm glad to see that steve yzerman is staying for another season. it's always fun to see stevie play; and nicklas linstrom is still with them, right? they're really my favorite two players on that team.
