Hockey season upcoming

Man the summer is going slow waiting for hockey to start.Something like 50 more days until the New York Ranger season becomes.I'm really at odds over what they did over the summer.I absolutely hateds them not re-signing Sean Avery(My favorite player)and Jagr.But I do look forward to seeing how Nikolai Zherdev(a supremely talented winger acquired from the blue jackets)can dazzle us,as well as the growth of our younger players Dubinsky,Staal,Girardi and Dawes.Plus aging veteran Markus Naslund was signed to add some scoring,can he rebound from an off par season last year in canuck land?
