[QUOTE="snova031, post: 3081745, member: 576899"] Because Shanny still showed he can produce at a high level. He got 60+ points last season. Team him with either Gomez or Drury on the 2nd line and that's a pretty good tandem right there. I doubt Shanahan will sign anything more then a 1 or 2 year deal. If they can fit him under the cap, there's no reason not to sign him. Like I said, the Rangers have a pretty young, solid group of blueliners. I really didn't see them picking up any top defensemen this offseason. The Rangers probably did spend more on Gomez and Drury then they were worth, but that's what you need to do. If they didn't cough it up, some other team would have signed them that same day. The Rangers have a few young, talented forwards, but their big names are getting old- Jagr is 35, I believe Straka is 34, and Shanahan is 38. I'm glad that they locked up two of the better centers in the league for the next several years. [/QUOTE]
