Rangers quite about Shanny
via New York Post:
The door to Rangers’ training camp opens today with physicals for players under contract and those invited for tryouts before tomorrow’s first 2008-09 on-ice session.
Not so fast, Brendan Shanahan.
As of last night, GM Glen Sather had apparently still not made a contract offer to free agent Shanahan, who has spent the summer turning away other suitors while hoping to extend his marriage with the Rangers into a third season.
There is no indication that the Rangers either have invited or will invite Shanahan to camp on the same kind of no-strings attached tryout scenario under which Petr Nedved will attempt to make the team. It is unclear whether Shanahan would accept such an offer if extended.
“Other teams have been offering me jobs, not tryouts,” Shanahan, who did not respond yesterday to a Post inquiry, said last week when asked if he would skate with the team without a contract. “I haven’t spent much time thinking about that.”
