"Chelly wants to play in New York, for the Rangers and Glen Sather. And I'll tell you this: No person had a bigger effect on my career." Note to Sather: FORGET ABOUT HIM. Go with the Youth movement.

MyYESNetwork Posts: 0	Age is the obvious issue here, but think about the positives he would have in the locker room. This team lacks leadership and an identity, not to mention a capable point man on the power play. Chelios could provide all of this, and at a reasonable price. Think of the impact he would have on Staal alone. And although he is not the player he once was, he is far from a below average defenseman, and the Rangers have over paid for a few of these types lately, who are over a decade younger than Chelly
