In a move that could be considered a reminder of the bad old days of the pre-lockout New York Rangers, The New York Post reports that the Rangers are seriously considering bringing in Mats Sundin to pair on the top line with Jaromir Jagr.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have given the Rangers permission to negotiate with Sundin (and the Sharks have given them permission to negotiate with D Brian Campbell) and both could don the Broadway Blues on July 1.  If the Rangers make these moves it would likely mean an end to the Ranger careers of Shannahan and Rozsival. Also it would likely mean that Chris Drury would have to move to the wing since the Rangers are not paying him to be a fourth line center.

Assuming Sundin and Campbell are the only two big time FA's the Rangers bring in, and that they do not retain any of their own other than Jagr - here is a look at potential line combinations:

Dawes - Sundin - Jagr
Drury - Gomez - Callahan
Jessiman - Dubinsky - Sjostrom
Orr - Betts - Hollweg

Other possible contributors include: Cherepanov, Korpikosky, and Anisimov

Bottom line question here folks is, is bringing in a Mats Sundin the right move for the Rangers, or is it another blunder by Slats akin to the Eric Lindros/Pavel Bure/Theo Fluery moves?
