Granted, Callahan was not realistic........but he decided to follow the money.....adios cap-i-tan.
As for Sather and his machinations as GM 2014....obtains 39 yr old
5' 61/2" and gives up 2015 1st round pick & 2014 2nd round pick.
It's clear.... TRY to win now....Fuck tomorrow.
That's the PLAN.
 
And I am all for that plan cage. How it needs to be with Nash, Hank, Girardi all in their primes and ready to win now.

There is no doubt that today we are a better team. What that means results wise this year and next year is TBD, but we are a better team right now no doubt.
 
We are a better team with MSL but by how much better are we? There is even less size upfront now. How are they going to deal with the big teams?
 
MSL blows away Callahan (offensively) even at his age. This team needs offense, the day is still young. Sather needs to make 1 more deal IMO. The 1st round pick is going to be a mid to late 1st rounder. Not worth passing up a top scorer over, I mean we still have a lot of talent below and you can make deals if you have to later on to get back a pick or 2 if you feel you need to. What did Callahan bring against bigger teams? The ability to get hurt and not play for 3-5 weeks at a time lol?
 
Let me clarify, I really liked Cally as a player. He is a gritty guy with big intangibles. But this team as it was was just heading for its usual 2nd round and knocked out playoff run. Hank isn't getting any younger, I think it was worth the risk.
 
Please move Boyle or Stralman and get a tough, intimidating player for the 4th line that can play some.
 
I think he might turn into a Graves type for us and Boston probably would deal him and a pick for Stralman.
 
I thought there was a shot we might bring Gabs back this offseason. Wont happen after the St. Louis deal
 
Really like that trade for the Kings. The catch is that Gabby needs to be healthy by end of year and into the playoffs.
 
Frattin, a 2nd and 3rd isn't bad though. I think its a good move for LA. You know he hated Columbus, I bet he plays well for LA down stretch/playoffs
 
Wow. hour and 15 left and still a few big players like vanek that have to be traded yet. Wonder what the prices come down to. Should be a flea market now. Lets go slats. still some work to be done.
 
why so? the past few years he's been durable and right now is just out with a fluke-ish collarbone injury. No reason to believe he can't come back this year.

Kopitar/Gabby line should be fun to watch.

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.

it would be 2 first round picks back to back years. One being considered a very deep draft. You can always use picks to trade up in the first round but that usually includes your original 1st rounder.

Al, the draft is a crapshoot and we'll be drafting toward the back of it. We have prospects coming and we've been successful with picks later in the draft. And theres always the possibility of trading for some additional picks as we go either today or before the draft
 
think we gave up way to much. you say the draft is a crapshoot and we need to win now. unless there is another big move this doesn't put us over the top.
 
Al, Nobody knows what does or doesn't put us over the top until we get there. We have a great goalie, solid D and have added an impact scorer to the team. We are in better shape now than we were yesterday. Its time to make a run now. Although, I will admit another move and we still have time would be nice.
 
St Louis will be a very good player the next 2 years IMO and a good player for 2 years after. I have no problem with the deal. If we end up giving up 2 #1's its because we are in ECF or the Finals
 
Rangers not there yet.........Sather needs to make another GIGANTIC move.
 
don't get me wrong, I know that Martin is a big upgrade from Cally and I think we have enough depth to make up for his "intangibles" I just think the size factor has not been answered with this trade hopefully I am wrong and him and Richards will turn back the clock and lead us.
 
I would agree another move needs to be made in next 30 minutes to maximize St Louis trade
 
That's why they need to push hard for Kesler here. If not then maybe send prospect/pick to Buff for Stewart.
 
fuck Kesler...if he got annoyed that his coach called him out saying he needed to do more...just imagine what he would read in the NY Media
 
I like Stewart because he is physical. I would love for them to try and get Moulson
