How does Glen Abracadabra Sather do it?

He gets a quid pro quo cap hit trade with Atlanta while unloading the despised Donald Brashear and the peripatetic Patrick Rissmiller. No matter that Todd White, the  player coming the other way, is only a slight improvement on Brian Boyle. Sather excises two bad contracts a get more back fill in return. If White proves himself and regains some of his former, um, form, he may by a delightful surprise.

When I first heard that this “trade” went down, I thought that there had to be more of a pot sweetener provided by Sather to get two more of his albatross contracts off the books. I was waiting to here that The Rangers laid some cash or a draft pick on Waddell to make this happen. That, or Sather had some compromising photos of an Atlanta suit he was using as an arm twister. Guess not.

All I know is that there are many happy Ranger fans out there who have two less reasons to hate Sather today. No matter that Sather has 6+ centers signed to NHL contracts and not a first line center among them. Unless, unless Sather has couple of tricks left up his sleeve before training camp starts.

And the rebuild continuuuuuues….
