![]() This would become a big factor in the Rangers success post-lockout, as they had an $8 million player for $4 million. Rangers acquire Jaromir Jagr from Washington for Anson Carter: What is lost in this trade is that the Caps picked up half of Jagr’s salary for the remainder of his contract. Greer played one game with the Syracuse Crunch in 2008-2009, and doesn’t appear to be making it to the NHL any time soon. Rangers acquire Jamie Pushor from Columbus for an 8th round pick in 2004 (Matt Greer): Pushor played a total of 7 games for the Rangers in which he did not register a point, and 14 for the Wolfpack in which he registered 2 assists. It’s been six years since the now infamous fire sale, which has left enough time to review how each of these trades panned out. These 11 trades involved a total of 29 players and 9 draft picks switching hands. The 2004 trade deadline saw General Manager Glen Sather make a total of 11 trades beginning on January 23, 2004. They would finish the season with a lowly 69 points, which was just good enough to avoid the lottery, but terrible enough for the Rangers to do what New Yorkers thought to be impossible: gut the team and completely rebuild. I wrote this on my blog,but I figured I would post it here too.Īs the 2004 trade deadline approached, and a lockout looming, the Rangers were in what can only be called a terrible place.
