Girardi Officially Signs

Me too

I don't see McDonagh as the next captain. I cannot see them taking him from no letter, no major leadership role, and making him captain just like that.

To me it will be Staal or Girardi, and I say Girardi unless Staal signs an extension by next season.

As for Cally, I kind of want him out now also rather than give in and sign him for big money. To me even 6 mill for a cap hit is too much for the kind of player he is, and no shot the cap hit is less than that. I guess if it was 6 mill TOPS I could live, but 6 years for 36 mill for Cally just seems like a bad deal IMO. Too many years and too much money per.

This says it all:


I don’t think it changes much with Ryan Callahan unless he softens his stance. Last I checked today he wanted upwards of $7 million. He won’t get that from the Rangers, won’t get that from TB and I would be shocked if he got that on the open market. (Darren Dreger on TSN Drive)

Steve Simmons asked Dreger if Ryan Callahan owned a mirror to which Dreger replied, “It’s a tough one. Steve, you know he is a good hockey player, but is he a $6.75 million dollar player, not even close. I don’t mind the heart and soul label though it’s grossly overplayed at times. He is a take it in the teeth kind of guy. He will block shots, do whatever it takes to win, but when you are doling out close to $7 million you need to be an offensive difference maker and he is not.” (Darren Dreger on TSN Drive)

I think I take him for 6 yrs at 6m. I dont do it willingly, and I'm not happy about it but I think I still do it. It's hard to describe.

Dreger nails it

I agree Prod. Tops I go 6 mill as a cap hit, but I don't feel great about it. I would live like I said, but wouldn't love it.
