Yesterday NHL 2nights Berry Melrose had the
pleasure of having a chat with the newly acquired Rangers GM:
George Khanpapyan
Berry: George they say your team
is too soft on wingers, how do you feel about that statment.
George: I couldn't disagree
more, with Corey Stillman on our Left Wing we feel GREAT, he is
very young and has a lot of power left in him
we really hope he will
blossom for us and be the amazing player we know, look for us to
bring in another big name player into our Left Wing
System.
For our Right Wing we
feel the most confident about, we feel with the dominant veteran
presents
of Hull ( 74 OV) and our
leading point man Zubrus ( 73 OV)
which we hope will only set
records for us. Also with the recent acquisition we feel really
well about our Wingers.
Berry: Alot of fans are
saying Lindros looks injured any info on that.
George: Lindros was playing
with a bruised hand, he is fully healthy now, and we hope he
will play up to his potential.
Berry: How do you feel your
Defense stands right now?
George: We actually
feel we have on of the best Defense, and with Hasek in net the
NEHL will get a chance to see how good it actually is, when they
play with
us (Laughter).
Berry: Plan on any big
player deals by the deadline?
George: There is still alot
of time left until the deadline, but we feel that our team is
pretty much set.
Berry: What is your goals
for this season?
George: Stanley Cup.
Berry: How do you feel about
playing the Avalanche?
George: We feel we
have a much better chance of beating them with our explosive
offense. We didn't have some players the last time when we
played them
and we feel those players
will make a great difference.
Berry: How is Adam fitting
in with the Rangers?
George: Very well, he is
liking it here and we like him here too.
Berry: Who has been
the most surprising player on your team this year?
George: I would have to go with
Lindros, he has put up points, but we really think he has much
more potential. I just hope
the injury he overcame wont
bother him during the season
Berry: Thank you very much for the
interview. George:
No Problem!
