NEW YORK-- The Rangers added two pieces to an already half-completed puzzle on Saturday, as they signed veteran centers Chris Drury and Scott Gomez.
Both centers will command an average salary over the US$7 million mark.
Drury and Gomez were the most sought after centers after Daniel Briere had been taken off the market.
Gomez will maintain an average salary of US$7.3 million, while Drury's will be around US$7.05 million.
Both Drury and Gomez had no desire to return to their 06/07 clubs, who took their signings for granted. They also wanted a chance to win, and a shot at a more important role.
Drury and Gomez will not have to leave the state of New York to join their new club, since they previously played in Buffalo and New Jersey, two suburbs of the Big Apple.
The Rangers are now a serious cup contender, they possess 3 of the best players in the NHL, and one of the 5 best goalies in the league.
