| While the Rangers ponder what to do with veteran Brendan Shanahan, hoping to seal one last season with the Blueshirts with a new deal, the forward has told the press he will be willing to listen to offers from other teams if a one-year deal with the Rangers can't be worked out, according to SI.com. |
Our View: Shanahan's agent, Rick Curran, recently shot down a rumor that he had rejected a one-year, $2M offer from the Canucks, according to The Province newspaper. Curran also told the Vancouver paper that San Jose and Montreal are not in the mix, either. Before the free agent signing period began, the New York Post reported Shanahan might move to the Devils. Rangers GM Glen Sather previously told the Daily News that he urged Shanahan to be patient while he sorted out the team's roster and salary cap this offseason. |

| The Blues are considering bringing back Brendan Shanahan, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Team president John Davidson said, "We've thrown our hat in the ring. When it comes down to it, Brendan has to make a decision that's right for him and his family. It could be New York. But we hope he explores the Blues as a viable option." |
Our View: The 39-year-old could have at least one more productive season in him, as he contributed 23 goals and 23 assists over 73 games with New York in 2007-08. Shanahan is one of the most popular players in Blues' history, and would be nice to see him finish his career in St. Louis. |
