Trade Deadline Day

[chuckd3534]

My prediction on what we do.

Re-sign Cally to a 6 year 36 mill +/- deal.

Make some minor cosmetic move to maybe bolster the bottom 6, or 3rd pair D.

Translation I don't see us doing anything real to help this team. Which means maybe we slip in, maybe we don't, but if we do we'll be done quickly most likely.

 

[Ranger71]

I bet they neither deal nor sign him. Theyll haggle with him the rest of the year then maybe watch him walk. Maybe he can move a Dorsett or D.Moore with pickprospect to improve that line.

 

[Ranger71]

I would package Callahan/Stepan for Stastny/McGinn.

 

[Disturbed]

Callahan will sign for 36 and Sather will get a "John Scott" type

Whoop di fucking do

 

[dumpstralmannow]

71, you are obsessed with dumping Stepan. He's had a bad year. Let it go. He's very young still.

 

[Disturbed]

The Rangers are trying hard to get Marty St L

 

[SaveLundy]

Wonder if Callahan is going the other way in a MSL trade, i would like to see us trade a couple of the 3rd/4th line guys we have get traded for similar upgrades, players who will fit next year. This team is competitive but its too flawed for a SC run unless a significant trade. might as well play this years deadline right and get a guy/guys who fit today and next year at the same time.

Chuck, you are depressing me. Can't you make up a couple of good trades…. you know like johnny hockey on twitter has Rangers about to sign 6'4" 40 goal scoring center who has a mean streak or something.

 

[Ranger71]

Unless they add a 1st and Kristo at least MSL wont be dealt.

 

[mrmel29]

Great coverage all day today on the nhl network for those of you who have it

 

[mrmel29]

St. louis about to come to rangers for cally and draft picks. Yahooooiiiieeee

 

[Stepupstepan]

Sounds like they are giving up 1st rd pick and 2nd rd pick along with cally. Dont like that they are giving up such high draft picks for 38 year old. The next drafts are supposed to be loaded with high end talent. Yeah I know he can still play but again it is short term deal and does not solve our main issues going forward.

 

[mrmel29]

st. louis for cally and 2014 2nd and 2015 1st. Sather is alive and kicking and hopefully not done as wfan reporting that kesler has changed his mind and will agree to come to rangers if traded there. Oh baby, sounds like Sather is AWAKE FOR A DEADLINE. Hopefully more moves to come

 

[SaveLundy]

No Kidding MrMel kesler swapping his mind, thats an interesting twist.

 

[Ranger71]

Im more excited if the Kesler report is true but i like the trade. It dosent matter that next years draft is good, if your picking at #20 it dosen't matter. At least they have another definate skill player through next year. They still need to get bigger.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Dolan's nose is all over this shit. If they get to the conference finals this year they would give up 1st pick in this draft. Disgusting. This organization is going in cycles.

Step, that pick is going to be mid to high 20's then. Who cares. And don't forget rangers can trade guys like dorsett, strahlman and boyle for picks back yet before 3 today. Rumors flying Sather being plied with coffee and he is ready and raring to go. More deals to come. St. Louis on his way to airport and intends to play tonight. Oh baby!!!!!

 

[NYR31]

mrmel, you don't just throw picks away simply b/c they're later in the 1st rd. Sjkei, MDZ, Kreider and JT Miller were all picked 15-28 in the 1st rd. You may not get Ovechkin's with the 20th pick, but you can def get good NHL players there.

 

[Ranger71]

If they make the ECF then the trade is paying off, if not then theyre giving up the 2nd and still have him another year. If they play Boston they still dont have enough but you never know.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I like Callahan but offensively he just doesnt cut it

Its hard to see all the homegrown guys leave...... I remember watching Cally, Dubi, and Artie play in Hartford.

 

[theProdigy223]

I agree Struds, I'm all about homegrown guys. But Cally's demands were just too ridiculous.

 

[Disturbed]

I agree Struds, I'm all about homegrown guys. But Cally's demands were just too ridiculous.

This. You cant pay him that for 6 years with a salary cap. See ya Cally, appreciate what you did but I would rather let him walk for nothing than cave to that and we got a really good player who wants to play here

 

[nj cup]

guys still hung up on 1st round picks?

the trade is a win

make the conference finals and its a 27-30 range pick who cares! you would be 4 wins from the finals. give me that over a 1st round pick any day of the week.

 

[theProdigy223]

whoa, did I just agree with nj cup?

What a day today is

 

[Disturbed]

Agreed Cup. And signing delusional Cally to $6.5 x 6 would be totally insane

 

[nj cup]

hey i speak the truth. gotta make a move to win at some time.

glad you didn't make that move to get nash in 12. would've went to the finals that year

 

[theProdigy223]

agree nj, can't always be playing for down the road when your goalie is already on the wrong side of 30 and your best player is in his prime.

 

[Ranger71]

Now if you can get Kesler for Stepan, Miller and a 3rd id jump all over it.

 

[theProdigy223]

noooooooooooo 71....I'm all for going for it but that is way too much youth to give up when you've already gotten 10 years older on the wings. Miller and Stepan are two of the reasons that losing picks doesnt hurt us

 

[Disturbed]

I am torn on Stepan now. I don't think he will be a #1 C ever but he is young and we need to keep some youth
