from Zipay:
Said this before, but Sather came up a little short at trade deadline. Rangers needed third-line size and grit for work along the wall and as a presence in front, someone like Lee Stempniak, didn’t get it.
Instead, he spent a low draft choice on a smallish spare D in Raphael Diaz. With Zuke, St. Louis, Hagelin, upfront size is an issue against heavier teams. Like Boston, for example.

Who do you sit though if we were to pick up someone with size? Pouliot? he actually uses his body pretty well. Zucc isnt going to sit, and was there really a grinding tough centerman available that would be a better replacement over Brassard? I just cant see anyone in the 1st 3 lines that would sit that we would have been able to get an upgrade. And Hagelin & Zucc may not be a physical force, but they are both extremely tough to get off the puck.
