Rangers in Talks with Dubinsky

In other not-so-surprising moves, the Rangers are in talks with Brandon Dubinsky’s agent:

The Post has learned the team is in conversations with Dubinsky’s representative regarding contracts of varying lengths, though neither party would characterize the state of the discussions that will accelerate upon the conclusion of Zherdev’s final 96 hours.

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. If Dubinsky was going to sign an offer sheet, he would have done so already. This is more of a formality, as Dubinsky will definitely be in Ranger Blue next season, and hopefully a few seasons down the road. He is a cost-controlled 3rd line center with the potential to be the 1st line center for this team, something the Rangers sorely need.
