Sather says Leafs are whiners

The Rangers feel no remorse for using their deep pockets to lure big-name players to the Big Apple.

(posted Feb. 14, 7:13PM EST)

NEW YORK -- Rangers GM Glen Sather scoffs at those who criticize him for throwing cash at the Pittsburgh Penguins to clinch an eight-player trade that brought Alexei Kovalev to New York.

The Rangers reportedly added a payment of nearly $4 million US to get it done. New York's player payroll now is estimated to be about $74 million US.

“Why is it bad for the league? Stuff like that . . . that's always the way it is,” Sather told the New York Post.

Toronto Maple Leafs executive Bill Watters has said his team offered players to Pittsburgh that were better than those accepted by the Rangers, only to see the deep-pocketed New Yorkers prevail again.

“The guys in Toronto whine,” said Sather. “Listen, they've been in every deal we've been in trying to get players.

“We end up getting the guy because the guy wants to come to New York. Part of the deal was Alexei wanted to come back. So they whine, but they were in the deal. They just didn't want to give enough to get him. Depends on how badly you want him. It's free enterprise. That's how the U.S. works.”

(Hey Sloth, I bet this will help you like Glen Sather.)
