I think he wants to be somewhere before camp opens at least (if he's going to play).
Almost time to bump the Habs' thread. Tanguay this, Laraques that.

Pre-season starts week of Sept 15-19th I think, so maybe training camp second week of September...
Not so good though. Last year very low expectations and very high result (reg. season). This year.....
#1. No, he's gone.
#2 I doubt it
#3 I recall reading a story one time of Beukie and his wife being at some NHLPA outing and $&$# Johnson got on the same bus. Obviously no fisticuffs took place, but it sounded uncomfortable.

i have the same feeling. avery must've been causing some sort of problem in the locker room or else sather would've given up his left nut to resign a player who was as important to the team as him
yea and even during the run late in the season when he was "vital" to our success the other players never seemed to be close to him or stand up for him, speak to him, etc. You could tell when you spoke to him...he was just one of them "personalities".
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

Friday night's season finale of MSG's "Fans' Most Wanted: Rangers" gave Blueshirts faithful a chance to meet the all-time Rangers Dream Team.
After surveying fans online at MSG.com for weeks, the show unveiled their choice for the greatest starting six out of the roughly 900 players who have skated for the Rangers since 1926. An all-time head coach was also selected, and the choices showed equal reverence for the team's glory years of the 1960s and the 1990s run that included a Stanley Cup championship from 1994.
One position that epitomized this respect for two distinct eras was the goaltending spot. Hall of Famer Ed Giacomin, the team's No. 1 goalie from 1966 to 1974 was the top vote-getter, followed closely by Cup winner and team career victories leader Mike Richter. Voting was so close, in fact, that the Dream Team roster was expanded to two include goalies – Giacomin as the starter and Richter as the backup.
Others in the running for top goaltender honors included John Vanbiesbrouck, who placed fifth in the voting, Gump Worsley, who placed fourth, and Henrik Lundqvist, the third-place finisher behind Giacomin and Richter.
On defense, Brad Park and Brian Leetch were the clear favorites. Park, who would have won multiple Norris Trophies in the 1970s if it weren't for Bobby Orr, and Leetch, a two-time Norris winner during his 16 full seasons in New York, dominated the fan voting with Leetch placing first overall.
Finishing behind Park and Leetch were Harry Howell, who played more games with the Rangers than any other player, former captain Ron Greschner, who bridged Park's team of the 1970s with the resurgence of the early 1990s under Leetch.
At forward, fans selected two legends from the 1960s and 1970s -- Jean Ratelle, the center of the famous GAG Line, and Ratelle's right wing, Rod Gilbert, the team's all-time leading scorer. Rounding out the three forwards was The Captain, Mark Messier, who drove the Blueshirts to the Stanley Cup in 1994.
Gilbert, the only Rangers player to score 1,000 points in a Blueshirts uniform, drew the most votes, Messier the second-most, and Ratelle finished third in the voting – earning all three spots on the All-Time team.
Others on the ballot included were Bill Cook, Frank Boucher, Andy Bathgate, Vic Hadfield, Phil Esposito, Adam Graves, Wayne Gretzky, Jaromir Jagr,
The final choice for fans was the team's all-time greatest coach, and it went to the man who turned the Rangers into perennial Stanley Cup contenders in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Emile "The Cat" Francis, who had a local youth hockey award named in his honor this past season, received the most votes.
Francis, who also played goal for the Blueshirts in the 1950s, guided the Rangers to 11 straight playoff appearances after taking over as head coach in the mid-1960s.
The second-place finisher was current Rangers head coach Tom Renney, who led the team out of the 2004-05 lockout to three straight playoff appearances – and counting. Finishing third was Mike Keenan, whose lone year in New York included the Stanley Cup championship.

Veteran Outlook: Sunny or Shanny
The top remaining free agent, Mats Sundin, he of the neverending "will he or won't he?" saga, has put the Rangers at the top of his wish list, according to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, even though other teams are able to offer him tons more money. In order to accommodate Sundin under the salary cap, Brooks says Glen Sather will have to find a way to trade Michal Rozsival and replace him with a cheap NHL-capable defenseman. But Sundin's agent has denied portions of Brooks's report that have to do with his possible return to the Maple Leafs, according to the Toronto Star and TSN. See Blue Notes for more.
Meanwhile, another "name" veteran who has put the Rangers at the top of his list awaits to hear his fate. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported last week that the Blues want to make an offer to Brendan Shanahan, but Blueshirts Blog contacted Shanahan and was told that he is still holding off all suitors as long as he has a chance to return for another turn as a Ranger. Blueshirt Bulletin subscribers can join the discussion on these and other subjects at Blueshirt Bulletin+.

RANGERS RAISING NOS. 3 & 9
By MARK EVERSON
Posted: 3:04 am
August 22, 2008
The New York Rangers will retire the No. 9s of Adam Graves and Andy Bathgate, and Harry Howell's No. 3 this season.
Graves will become the final member of the 1994 Stanley Cup winners to have his sweater hoisted to the Garden rafters, the team said, before the Rangers play host to the Thrashers Feb. 3.
Howell's No. 3 and Bathgate's No. 9 will join the No. 7 of Rod Gilbert, No. 1 of Ed Giacomin, No. 11 of Mark Messier, No. 2 of Brian Leetch and Graves' No. 9 on Feb. 22, when the Maple Leafs visit.
Graves helped the Rangers end their 54-year Cup drought, becoming the team's second 50-goal (52) scorer that season. He played 17 seasons with Detroit, Edmonton, the Rangers and Sharks, 329-287-616 in 1,152 games, winning two Cups (1990 Oilers) and the 2001 Masterton Trophy.
Bathgate was the first Ranger 40-goal scorer in 1958-59, winning the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP, and served as captain from 1961-64. Defenseman Howell, captain from 1955-57, holds the franchise record of 1,160 games played among his 1,411 in the NHL. He won the Norris Trophy in 1967. Bathgate and Howell were called up simultaneously in October, 1952, and played 12 seasons together.
*
Another former Ranger captain, Vic Hadfield, the team's first 50-goal scorer, heads the list of Ranger, NHL and sports figures set for the 11th annual golf tournament for Diamond Blackfan Anemia, Oct. 6, at Edgewood CC in Rivervale, NJ. Tickets are through 201-590-8916.

Bathgate the Consummate Performer
Class and artistry intertwined in a pirouette

Tagged as: Andy Bathgate , NHL , New York Rangers
The Rangers announced they will honor three greats in February: Adam Graves Night on Feb. 3; Andy Bathgate and Harry Howell Night on Feb. 22. Following the announcement, Stan Fischler offered these words on Bathgate:
Considered by some who saw him play as the best Rangers right wing of all time, Andy Bathgate reeked of class and artistry. He played the game cleanly, but was also an excellent fighter when the occasion demanded the rough stuff.
Two episodes, among many, stand out when one considers Bathgate's seasons as a Ranger.
In 1959, Bathgate fired the shot that ripped into Montreal goalie Jacques Plante's face, causing the netminder to don a mask for the first time in NHL annals. The second episode involved a critical penalty shot taken by Bathgate against Detroit goalie Hank Bassen that helped propel the Rangers into a 1962 playoff berth.
Bathgate was the consummate performer. He combined the art of stickhandling and shooting to near perfection. His shot, which he endlessly practiced, became so devastating that it was in a class with the mighty blasts of Bobby Hull and Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion, both of whom were his contemporaries.
Bathgate wasn't quite as flashy as Hull nor blessed with All-Star teammates like Geoffrion, but he was good enough to win the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP in 1949. He was also voted to the First All-Star Team at right wing in 1959 and 1962 as well as the Second Team in 1958 and 1963.
The Bathgate bloc could detail a litany of beauteous plays executed by its hero. One that qualifies among his best was a one-on-one play: Bathgate vs. Chicago goaltender, Glenn Hall.
At the time, Hall, alias Mister Goalie, was the best netminder in the business. On this occasion, Bathgate received a pass directly in front of Hall and slightly to the right of the net. Rather than simply shoot the puck, Andy performed a 180-degree pirouette, appearing at the left side of the cage with the puck on his stick. Hall remained with Bathgate until Andy completely reversed the move with another pirouette, this time ending up precisely where he had begun. By this time, Hall's body was so contorted that he was literally unable to move, whereupon Bathgate deposited the rubber in the empty right corner for a goal. It was vintage Bathgate, and a play that few, if any, could duplicate.
I can vouch for that, because I was there when it happened. That move, among others, is why Bathgate is in the Hall of Fame
