Shanahan close to new deal with Rangers

From today's NY Post....



The Rangers and Brendan Shanahan are on the verge of completing a one-
year deal, with the club seeking league approval on the structure of the
bonuses that will be included in the 38-year-old winger's contract, The
Post has learned.

It is believed that Shanahan, who told The Post on June 20 he would work
with the Blueshirts in order to grant the team as much cap
maneuverability as possible, will sign for a base of approximately $2.5M
with an additional $1.5-2.5M in readily attainable bonuses.

"Glen [Sather] has been really good in communicating with me while he was
dealing with the [Henrik Lundqvist and Sean Avery] arbitration issues,"
Shanahan told The Post on Saturday. "I said all along I had no desire to
test the market or accept other offers."

Shanny wants to be here, Jagr always wanted to be here, Drury it was a dream
of his as a kid to be here, Lundqvist is treated like royalty here..... we
may have to work on Gomez a little, after all he was a Dee-vil.
