What a world it is.....

BTW, I switched and let my buddy wear my Avery T on Wednesday night after he won the lottery so the shirt could be visable...Needless to say, Avery, Ashley Olsen and another dude came down in the front row with my buddy and his sister near the end of the show to rock out....He got a great picture with Avery and was holding my shirt with the 16 in front of him....

My friend did ask Avery about the contract situation and he said "don't worry, we're gonna work it out"....hope so, I'd hate to see him go.....

Jaromir Jagr has been offered $12 million by Dynamo Moscow according to rumors spread by Georges Laraque. Avangard Omsk said they could offer Jagr up to $7 million (before the KLH changed its rules to remove the salary cap on NHL players). Larry Brooks of the New York Post quoted an agent who said a Russian team offered one of his clients (not Jagr) an outrageous sum that would make a commensurate offer to Jagr astronomical.

Those are some of the bullets entering the chamber of the game of Russian roulette the Rangers appear to be in as they work to re-sign their captain and leading scorer, which Brooks says would be along the lines of his prior contract -- a base salary roughly equal to what the Rangers paid him the past three years (close to $5 million), plus bonuses that would allow him to recoup the amount Washington had been picking up (another $3 million, which the Rangers could then defer to the following year's cap calculation if they had to). But how much this Russian league intrigue comes to bear still remains open to speculation.

One thing we know for sure right now is that Jagr has not actually spoken to anyone from Russia, according to our sources (other than his cup of coffee with Avangard's GM during a visit to New York in April). What may be of greater concern to Ranger fans is Brooks's question of what will happen a year from now when Alexei Cherepanov's contract with Omsk expires and he has to choose between a lucrative tax-free offer to re-sign there or a highly limited NHL entry level contract? That could be a real issue now that the KLH have altered their rules to allow them to not only poach NHL players without having to worry about the salary cap, but also to set aside cap concerns in competing for non-NHL players who have received offers from NHL teams.

"The next condition of the rules announced by [KLH Managing Director Vladimir] Shalaev completely causes a sensation," reports Sport-Express.ru, according to a translation provided by reader Laurie Carr. "From now on the League's clubs will have the right to enter a contract on any financial terms with a player who has received a contract offer from the NHL, with the agreement not to be counted against the salary cap. A similar rule will apply to players with active NHL contracts. In other words, Moscow Dynamo can offer any incredible contract to Ovechkin, and Avangard to Jagr."

The KLH has been successful recently in signing several marginal NHL players -- John Grahame is going to Avangard, Chris Simon is going to become their problem instead of ours, one-time Rangers (briefly) Jussi Markkanen and Jason Krog are headed over, and Andrei Zyuzin is the latest to defect back home. And the Rangers lost prospect Ivan Baranka to a Russian team. But beyond that, our connections in Europe tell us that so far, this is all posturing by the KLH -- posturing between the Russian teams themselves as they compete for publicity and players, and between Russia and the NHL as the former tries to stop the latter from siphoning off their best talent (with other European countries ready to join the fray for the same cause).

"Since our relationship with Mr. Bettman's league is still not formalized, we decided to go ahead with this somewhat discourteous behavior," Shalaev said. And this despite NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman insisting that he will continue to maintain courtesy on his side, or at least his version of it. "My goal is to have a cooperative framework for all interested parties, internationally, for the growth and development of the game," he said last week. "Not having a transfer agreement is more of a short-term problem, because it will adjust -- either we’ll get a transfer agreement in some form going forward, or the marketplace will adjust and the players in Europe and Russia who want to come here will either insist on short-term contracts or the right to buy [them] out.

"In the interim, we’re going to try not to throw stones. We’re going to try and work our way through this. We’re going to try and do this right. I did meet recently with [KLH founder] Alexander Medvedev in an attempt to establish a dialog so we can maybe figure each other out a little bit better and understand what our mutual goals and objectives are. And so as I look down the road in the short term, we’re going to try and make things work instead of hunkering down and fighting. Because cooperation is always better than fighting in whatever venue you’re in." Except in hockey, where fighting is an accepted way of solving problems. And unfortunately for Bettman, the KLH has already dropped the gloves.

If the Shoe Fits: So how funny is it that the Pittsburgh Penguins are suddenly whining about the officiating in the Stanley Cup Final, which they trail 2-0 after consecutive shutouts in Detroit? Even funnier is that they're whining about diving -- especially about Johan Franzen, in his first game back after a concussion, diving after taking a glove to the jaw from Gary Roberts. But the funniest of all are the Pens' fan who mocked fans of the Rangers and Flyers for complaining about the officiating in prior series.

We're not going to post a link to their site, but after their holier-than-thou attitude while things were going well for their team, they now have a poorly photoshopped image of Chris Osgood and (I think) Franzen accepting Oscars right up at the top of their whineblog, as well as several other photos and video clips of alleged dives -- they even have a clip that shows several angles of Roberts punching Franzen along with their complaint that Franzen dove! "What really stings about the loss is Osgood's lack of sportsmanship," they write. "His two blatant dives were embarrassing." Maybe so -- I wouldn't put it past Osgood to dive. But that is hardly as embarrassing as the hypocritical whining of fans who already established their stance against complaints about the officiating back when it was all going their way.
