I heard an interview with a Rangers admin. a few months ago, and it put it into perspective. NY is a place where they not only battle for position, but attention. NY is literally a place where you can have a contender and be silent. With the coaching moves with the Nicks and Giants, and the off-season moves by the Yankees, the Rangers need to do something to keep on the back pages and in people's minds. Your talking about millions in revenue being involved. NY will always make the big (unreasonable) moves as long as the media market in NY remains so cut-throat.
