Rangers could need Joseph

Now that Richter has retired, the Rangers should have more interest in CuJo. Currently, they only have Mike Dunham, who's been inconsistent, and Dan Blackburn, who's not proven yet. Glen Sather, the Rangers GM, is expected to talk to the Wings after Joseph recovers from his surgery. That means early October. That also means the Wings will have to carry Joseph into the season and might have to risk having him longer if they can't get a deal with New York. They obviously want a center in return but will probably have to settle for draft picks. The Rangers may offer Eric Lindros but thankfully, the Wings have little interest in the injury-prone center.
