Could it be possible that the Rangers are going after star Maple Leaf and soon to be free agent Mats Sundin? It might just be true that they are, as the NY Post was reporting. Glen Sather might be going after Sundin to play on the first line with Jagr.

Let's break down the pros and cons of this deal.

Let's start with the pros first.

- Sundin will bring the leadership and the skill on the power play that the Rangers have desperately needed over the past couple of years.

- Signing Sundin will give both players, Jagr and Sundin, someone to feed off of. Jagr will probably score more goals and Sundin can too. I'm not saying that Drury or Dubinsky won't be a factor in this signing. They will have the biggest job of them all: setting up plays.

Those are the pros of this situation; now let's go over the cons.

Like every Ranger fan has been saying, the main con with this deal is that Sundin is too old. He's 37 years old.

Sure he's nearing the end of his career and so is Jagr, but did you see Jagr last year in the playoffs? Sundin is just as good, plus the way the Rangers have been going since the lockout year, Sundin will finally see some playoff action.

I think that if the deal goes through, that it will be a good thing for the team. It will bring the team even more leadership, with Jagr, Shanahan, and now Sundin.
