As a Rangers fan, I'm optimistic. I was against the deal if they were to give up York, but they got away with giving up essentially just Novak and a 1st rounder. Ulanov was a waste and the 4th rounder means very little.
True, they're need for some kind of defense is much more great, but they just added 50 goals to the lineup at little personnel cost to the team. I'm just glad I don't have to foot the bill...
