The only player besides Gaborik remaining from Glen Sather's 2009 summer of free agency woe is Brian Boyle.
The Mouth feels that it's kind of ironic that the player who the Rangers received from the Thrashers, Todd White, for the two buffoons mentioned above, might be guy who will eventually send Brian Boyle packing.
Todd White is an older player, but he can supply some scoring occasionally which Boyle can not. White is a 35 year old center who had a ton of injury problems last year, including a dislocated shoulder and knee problems.
White did however score 22 goals two years ago.
The trade was made as a salary dump by the Thrashers, who immediately placed Brashear on unconditional waivers and will buy out the $1.3 million left on the last year of his contract, should he not be claimed. The Thrashers cleared about $850,000 in cap room with this deal.
For the Rangers this was basically a good riddance to bad garbage deal for a player that might or might not be up with the big club this year.
The Mouth feels that if Todd White has an impressive camp, and John Tortorella's first impression is a good one, we might be seeing another 2009 UFA in Brian Boyle shipped off or demoted and Todd White playing in his place.
The Mouth of course lends his warped thoughts to the video below.
