6M for an ENG specialist. What a steal for that role. Being an empty net goal scorer is rare these days and to have TWO, including Stralman, on the team is amazing. I remember when Callahan was first traded here and he tried to look good and fancy by scoring on teams with a goalie in the crease. He used to do that a lot and it would irritate me. But not now, no, he finally has accepted his role, embraced it, and is making the smart play by shooting at the glass when there's a goalie in the net.
His empty better was one of humility, showing why he was a captain in his previous goal scoring-on goalies-role by just skating towards the net and gently passing it in. No Stefan dekes (He did not embrace the ENG Specialist role), or Craig Smith shooting over the net plays, he simply scored his ENG like a gentleman. THAT is worth 6 million. That's why Ryan Callahan is on the team, to provide leadership as the ENG Specialist. Every team needs one.
