When I hear this and consider the Tim (Tom) Erixon situation, and how much the Rangers gave up in both of these trades when they clearly had the leverage, it makes me think the Rangers have their mitts in everything and that the league will keep an arms length as long as the Rangers offer a fair trade value in return.

I was thinking the same thing. In both situations they over pay to maybe appease the other club so tampering isn't brought up.
