Exactly, for 5M a yr bring in Gomez. He would break his career highs with the Rangers, just as Nylander has.

Like, others have said. 5 million a year for Nylander would be too much. If they can get him for just a little more than what Straka earns (like 3.5m-ish) they should do it I think. Nylander really has been a bargain the last two years (making less than 2.5m per). Can't really blame him for seeking a bigger paycheck.

Edit: What is the point of signing Nylander for 3 years, if this might be Jagr's last?

I wouldn't like it too much if the Rangers brought Nylander back with a deal longer than 2 years. Jagr will be back in 08-09 if he scores at least 84 points this season and the Rangers win another playoff series. Doable? Definitely. Guaranteed? Hardly.
