About TMR

I've played hockey my entire life and have always been a die hard Rangers fan. Now that I'm done chasing the dream, I play in a few beer leagues but it just isn't the same as the glory days. I started this blog a little over a year ago and it has since evolved into something I really enjoy. Do I one day aspire to be a professional sports writer? Possibly. My dream job is being a general manager of a professional hockey team. My mood is hopelessly attached to whether the Rangers win or lose on a given night. I despise Sidney Crosby, loathe Martin Brodeur, and think Ricky Dipietro uses more hair products than any man should ever use. My name is Ryan McFadden and I am the editor of The Manic Ranger blog. Be sure to comment whether you like what I have to say or not. I can be reached by e-mail at tmrangerblog (at) gmail.com

 
Hallelujah - Dubinsky Signs 2 Year $3.7M Deal

Glen Sather did the right thing, he gave Dubinsky the money he deserved and secured a strong building block for the franchise to a cap friendly deal. Nothing positive was going to be accomplished with Dubi holding out and Sather uncharacteristically refusing to open Jimmy Dolan's wallet. Now Dubi can get into camp and hopefully play Monday against the Wings when Marian Gaborik is expected to suit up for his first game. It's now pretty clear though that Sather really was trying to shop Dubinsky in a deal for Phil Kessel. It's more than likely not a coincidence that once Kessel was traded and signed, Brandon Dubinsky signed on the dotted line and had a new deal. I would have been pretty demoralized/righteously pissed if Dubi had been moved. In signing Cally and now Dubi, the Rangers have showed that they are committed to building from within. That's a very positive sign.

As for the contract itself, it's pretty much what I thought it would be. It's basically the same deal Drew Stafford signed a week ago and as  I said in a comment a couple days ago, it's a barometer for what Dubi should get.
