[QUOTE="snova031, post: 3078846, member: 576899"] It's not just about how many points they tally. Drury was an excellent leader in Buffalo and every team would die to have him on their roster. As for Gomez, he played in a system that didn't suit his talents in NJ. Give him a chance in a more open system and I think he'll step up big time. I'd say 35-40 goals and ~80 points out of Gomez next season. Now all the Rangers have to do is lock up Hank and sign Avery, Prucha, and Shanny and they're looking pretty good. Nylander will most likely be gone since there doesn't seem like there will be enough $$ under the cap to keep him, which is a bummer, but I'm sure the additions of Drury and Gomez will more then make up for it. As for the Flyers, they've made some great moves, but their goaltending is a bit sketchy. Biron had some excellent seasons in Buffalo but lost the starting gig and eventually got shipped to Philly, and Nitty is still unproven IMO. Can't really gauge either goalie on last years performances with the Flyers, because they were terrible, and their defense was non-existent. [/QUOTE]
