A few weeks ago, when Petr Nedved was waived by the Flyers, there were whispers that the Rangers might be interested in the 35-year-old who has played with Jaromir Jagr in Pittsburgh, and is a former Ranger who might help QB the power play.
With a little over three hours left before the holiday roster freeze, the rumor mill is rumbling that Nedved, now with the Phantoms, might be involved in a multi-team last-minute deadline deal that would send him back to New York. Today's waiving of D Sandis Ozolinsh would free up the money needed to slide Nedved under the cap...
No word from the Rangers yet, and I'm skeptical, but stay tuned...

nedved is a terrible idea
This is like a bad nightmare. Cut Ozo, get Nedved. Well, only if they can get him for the league minimum, which probably isn't going to happen. He looked tired and unmotivated the last 2 yrs. and should probably join Leetch in the waiting-for-retirement club
nedved was washed up five years ago plus he's a p***y on a team loaded with p***ies and a punching bag by the name of hollweg... has this cheap shot artist ever won a fight??
Was Ozo waived for real?
Why would they want Nedved? He's only a MINUS 20!
This cannot be true. It would be a giant step backward for the organization. We watched him play for years without success here. There is a reason why the last place flyers cut him. We don't need a mediocre-at-best forward when we have young guys fighting for ice time. ABSURD.
