Rangers Continue Makeover

Another day resulted in another deal in New York today as Andrew Ference was shipped to Washington for hard nosed Tomas Kloucek.

"We really like Ference," said Rangers GM Burns, "but we're continuing to add people to our blue line that will make our zone and the slot in front of our net an unwelcome place for the opposition. Kloucek is a strong, intense competitor is very physical. Last year we gave to many goals due to soft work in front of our net. We hope that trend dies a horrible death this year. We have a great offence and we now think the defence is strong and tough enough to handle the big forwards out there."
