While some will be nervous at the Rangers splashing cash in Free Agency will be a harkening back to the overspending of the late 90s & early 00s, I couldn't be happier at them signing Chris Drury. He's not nearly as skilled as Jagr, but Drury is just one of those athletes that has it. It being that certain trait for somehow, some way being on winning teams or just making a team better not through overt statistical output but through those unquantifiable intangibles.
Drury is not going to score 50 or even 40 goals. He may only score 25 but he's the kind of cat that 20 of those 25 will be in key situations or to win a game.
The Rangers also signed former Devil, Scott Gomez. While I'm not a big fan of Gomez, that has more to do with him being a Devil & not necessarily anything with his game.
I do like these signings b/c both of these guys can play much more of a two-way game than Nylander could.
Next order of business for the Rangers is to re-sign His Shiznitness, Sean Avery, who is an RFA, along with The King, Henrik Lundqvist.
