Rumor: Trade Rumor Thread XIII

[Raspewtin]

Sorry.

Which contenders are looking to shore up their RW?

Pittsburgh, St Louis, Los Angeles, Sharks maybe, I could see Toronto pushing for him.

Hard to compare MDZ being traded to Staal staying. Especially with Klein coming back in the DZ trade.

Also Staal is really really good. The other is not.

I only say that because both of them (staal and MDZ) play the left side. If Staal had intent to leave, you'd think that they'd look into dealing Staal and moving MDZ up to Staal's spot, where according to HF, MDZ would shine..

Callahan to LA for Tyler Toffoli and a 2nd.

Yes please. That kid has a filthy release. The only downside to it would be that Joe would constantly be talking about his "quick release."

 

[Matt4776]

If we were able to get Derrick Pouliot for Callahan... I'd squeal. Exactly what this team is missing.

 

[Raspewtin]

I would LOVE Toffoli.

He's buried on LA's 4th line and still scoring, yass please.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Toffoli would look sick with Zuccs.

Toffoli would look sick with Zuccs.

I thought he played the right side. Has he played the left?

 

[Miller Time NYR]

If Girardi wants 5.4 mil for 6 years, sather should be able to get him on a 5 year deal by bumping that up to 5.9-6.3 mil. Get that situation done then focus on Callahan, I absolutely love the idea of getting a young winger + for him.

 

[Raspewtin]

Zucc can play left wing.

 

[RangerBoy]

McKenzie said Callahan wants more than $6M per. Long term. 7-8 years. He said 7 on TSN. He said at least 7 on the NHL Network.

Now we know what these guys want. The "you don't know what they want argument" is out the window. Someone leaked those terms to TSN.

i'll assume the 5.4 figure was for a 7 year term, so I can see 6.1 for 6 years with no problem. The current CBA is still in place for this deal, so if he decides to retire it's just cap hit off the books and no penalties associated.

It's worth it, regardless. What's another $1M per year going to get us on our defense?

 

[Tawnos]

Toffoli would look sick with Zuccs.

You know, it's funny... I know we want to get max value on a player, but given his UFA status... I would actually trade Callahan straight up for Toffoli. Unless it's a 1st, the pick isn't that big of a deal to me.

 

[Matt4776]

Zucc can play left wing.

I don't love the idea of switching arguably our best forward this year to his offside after his career/breakout year.

People usually leak information for a specific purpose.

agreed

So would I, but that's probably because I love Toffoli and think he's what this team is missing to a tee.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Pretty sure he can play both.

 

[Matt4776]

Pretty sure he can play both.

I'll hop on your bandwagon, then.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Mikkel Boedker + 1st for Callahan?

 

[Made Dan]

I'm comfortable with overpaying for Girardi. If he'll go 6 years at the rumored 5.4, sign me up. Pains me to say, because I love him, but you just can't overpay for Callahan. Better to get the assets for him in return than to holdout hope that he'll take a discount.

 

[eco's bones]

If I had to choose between the two--I'd go with Girardi anyway. What he's asking is very reasonable considering he'd probably get 7 years and a lot more $ in July.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I like Toffoli. Don't know if the Wild would have interest in Callahan but Coyle is another kid I would really like to add.

One of my buddies from MN was saying their local sports radio was reporting a rumor of Coyle/Granlund + 1st + Heatley for Ryan Miller.

 

[The Gloaming]

Pittsburgh, St Louis, Los Angeles, Sharks maybe, I could see Toronto pushing for him.

Targets:

Pitt: Dumoulin, Pouliot (probably very unlikely)
LA: Toffoli, Linden Vey
St. Louis: Berglund, Rattie, Jaskin
San Jose: Nieto
Toronto: very meh. Reilly ain't happening.

What about Vancouver? reunite Callahan with Torts.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

So, who do we consider buyers right now? I would put them in two categories: definite contenders and bubble teams that will look to make a push.

Definite Contenders:
Pittsburgh
Boston
Tampa Bay
Anaheim
Chicago
St. Louis
San Jose
Colorado
Los Angeles

Bubble Teams
Toronto
Carolina
Detroit
Columbus
Ottawa
Vancouver
Minnesota

Those are the teams I think that will be looking to buy. Obviously the bubble teams could fall off and if a Montreal or a Phoenix picks it up over the next couple of games, they could re-enter the picture.

Which of those match up the best in terms of having a need and the assets to get Callahan?

(I'd say that all of them could use a Girardi - after all, who doesn't want a solid RHD? - but it sounds like the Rangers may be more confident in signing him.)

yup, i've been the biggest one with saying that.. but only bc there was no reports for the past 3-4months.. im down to trade him after reading those reports..

idk what teams want him but theres prob a number that would lineup..

g i want to keep at all cost.. plus his demands are pretty reasonable.. slats could prob get it at a fair value for both sides..
