Brandon Dubinsky Looking for Less Money

Larry Brooks, New York Post is reporting that Brandon Dubinsky has reduced his asking price:

"While Overhardt would not provide specific information regarding the proposals, it is believed that Dubinsky is now seeking a one-year deal for approximately $1.1 million or a two-year deal for approximately $2.15 million.

Dubinsky's absence has shined a spotlight on the Rangers' glaring lack of depth and talent at center. Dubinsky lacks leverage as a Group II, but the Blueshirts are lacking an important piece of their puzzle for as long as the parties remain estranged. A quartet of Vinny Prospal, Chris Drury, Artem Anisimov and Brian Boyle down the middle won't even come close to cutting it. "

I hope Glen Sather agrees to terms soon and Dubinsky gets into camp. I'm afraid the longer this rolls on the more likely he'll look to trade him, and that would be a shame. Sather made it clear that this is the only time the organization has the leg up on negotiations with the player since he's not a UFA.
