Martin Straka has not signed a contract with HC Lasselsberger Plzen, his agent said Thursday, despite an announcement to the contrary from the Czech club. ''Marty has made it clear that he will wait until after July 1 to evaluate all his options and make an informed decision at that time,'' Ritch Winter, Straka's longtime agent, told The Canadian Press on Thursday. Straka, an unrestricted free agent on July 1, played the last three years with the New York Rangers. HC Lasselsberger Plzen announced on its website that the 35-year-old forward would be a player and sports director with the team.

Two key veterans from the Rangers could be lost. If they didn't have so much talent on that roster, I'd be seriously concerned.

this guy wants to wait until July 1 see if any NHL team will overpay for his services and if he doesnt get a nibble take the deal offered to him. Its simple economics and offering this guy anywhere over 3 million is poor management
