How convenient.

Ryan Callahan has degenerative cap disorder. Amirite?

 

[VoluntaryDom]

DAMMIT

f*** man

i really love you, Ryan. I hope you recover well. How you played down the stretch was amazing, you played your heart out, and while im sad you probably wont play again, at least your last few months as a bolt were great.

Is this another way that a team just weasels their way out of cap troubles?

 

[TeddyBare]

We're all thinking it

How convenient

Cap hit gone!

 

[kingsholygrail]

That sounds awful.

Wow, poor guy. I wish him all the best.

Very sad to hear. As you can tell from my avatar, I'm one of the few Ranger fans that still loves Cally and wanted to see him win a cup. Plays hockey the right way. Shitty news.

Funny how these things only happen to guys with horrible contracts

What a sad way to go. As much as we wanted his money off the books, I don't think a single fan questioned what a good guy Ryan Callahan was and is.

Take your money and live a great life, Cally. Sincerely wish this guy the best on a personal level, whcih I think is true for all fans who watched him on a nightly basis.

There's the cap space!

Also sad to see it end like this for Cally. Hope he enjoys retirement!

Some teams have all the luck

Ryan Callahan is who you want either your son to grow up like or your daughter to bring home. Class individual who was a great Ranger!

Lightning announce Ryan Callahan to go on long-term injured reserve

He will most likely be put on LTIR, thus giving Tampa cap relief to sign Point. Salute to Callahan who had a great career.

Better reason than a skin allergy at least

 

[Morbo]

Hey, it's better than a glove allergy

 

[boredmale]

Maybe he can go rent a place with Hossa

"Degenerative disc disease is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal discs as you age."

Funny how these things only happen to guys with horrible contracts

Maybe the disease that deteriorates his body and changes his life has contributed to him playing worse and thus being a big part of the reason why his contract looks bad
