"4. Isn’t there some sort of cap contained in the CBA limiting the number of Rangers on the Lightning? Apparently not, given Tampa Bay’s substantial scouting presence at the Garden last week. The league’s best team is on the hunt for a righty defenseman. Kevin Shattenkirk, for whom the Lightning had completed a conditional deal prior to the 2017 deadline before the defenseman rejected it, shoots right. Just saying."

Thoughts?

There have also been some talk about Rangers taking Callahan off Tampa's hands as a cap dump. Shatty at 50% for Cally might be attractive for Tampa...

f***ing Tampa again?

Brooks didn't really say that.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Gotta get that 2nd rounder to be a first. Hook em up with hayes too, take back Cally's contract and get their next 5 1sts lol

Brooks is wildly speculating but it's reasonable speculation

I would have no hesitation about trading Shattenkirk. Maybe get their next year's first.

Are these two thoughts related?

Tampa: "what are you asking for in return for Shattenkirk"
Rangers: "oooh, I don't know. That's gonna cost you"
Tampa: "Well how about..."
Rangers: "Done!"

Brooks is basically just making stuff up here because they’ve been trade partners before.

Tampa was after Shatty as a rental 2 years ago and that was before they made a huge trade and investment in McDonagh.

Their cap is extremely tight going forward, Shatty is signed 6.6m for 2 more seasons after this. They need to clear salary, not add so unless we’re retaining a large chunk or taking a cap dump back then nothing will happen.

 

[DutchNYR]

Hypothetically speaking, would it be possible to retain on a specific year of a contract?

So let’s say Shattenkirk for Callahan+ and then we retain on the last year of Shattenkirk’s contract. Since Callahan’s contract runs out in 2020.

It is not. One percentage throughout the contract.

Thanks for clarifying.

What if it's a different RHD defenseman they are scouting, one not named Shattenkirk or ADA.

With all of these ex-Rangers on a Stanley Cup favorite you have to wonder why we just didn't keep them all in the first place.















^ The above is humor. Calm down.

Don't tell me to stay calm.

Shattenkirk at 25% for Callahan, condition off the 2019 #1, 2020 #2 that becomes a #1 if they win the cup either this season or next and Raddysh.

 

[n8]

so essentially Shatty for a conditional 2nd/1st, Raddysh, and we eat Callahan's contract? hmm...
Well I think Brooks is making stuff up. What I do believe is that Tampa was scouting us so while we are in the land of make believe, they must have been scouting Smith

 

[nyr2k2]

Cally was my favorite forward during that era. I don't want him back. He can f*** off. I know it's business but f*** off. I don't think he'd want to come back, either.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Shattenkirk at 25% for Callahan, condition off the 2019 #1, 2020 #2 that becomes a #1 if they win the cup either this season or next and Raddysh.

This is probably closer to realistic if such a deal were to go down.

 

[Trxjw]

It'd have to be a pretty sweet deal for something like that to happen. Especially if we're retaining on Shattenkirk.
