No, my proposed trade is not one fans would expect to read
about.  With the Rangers have little wiggle room under the
salary cap, and needing to find cap space for the eventual
return of Sean Avery, Glen Satherâ€™s trade options are limited.
However, there is one â€œtradeâ€ that he can make to try and
inject some life into the moribund Blueshirts.  Sather needs to
have Tom Renney and Jim Schoenfeld trade jobs. Renney would be
re-assigned (that sounds so better than saying he is fired) to
become the Assistant GM, Player personnel while Schoenfeld would
take over behind the bench.  Why not just fire Renney outright?
Because, like him or not (and like it or not), the Rangers
freefall is not completely his responsibility. He has not
forgotten how to coach from the time the Rangers shot out of the
starting gate at the beginning of the season â€“ a fact the
anti-Renney faction conveniently forgets when they rail against
him. In fact, when it comes to coaching decisions, most coaches
are pretty much all the same.
