No, I think it's highly unlikely that this is part of a government conspiracy that goes up to Obama.

oh geez.
this guy is done isnt he ?
hes really slow and kinda plodding. dont see the fit here at all. he is not better than the hunwick and JM weve been seeing. he was pretty awful for the sabes.
im not sure if this is a move in anticipation of mcd returning or a defensive move to upgrade the left side and av not trusting either of those 2 guys.
i do not believe this team is going to give up on john moore, a past 1st round pick, and so i dont believe hes being moved. i think hunwick has been pretty solid.
i think its moore v. hunwick right now playing for the 3 LD.
lets not forget, this defense is coming off back to back shutouts. the defense isnt awful really and thats without mcd.

I have no problem with them giving the guy a look, the chances of him ever playing a game for the big club is literally next to none, but as we've already seen this season you literally CAN NEVER have enough depth.

To be honest, I think this is solely a move to light a fire under McIlrath's ass.
Granted Tallinder did play in the olympics last year and was playing about 18 minutes per game with Buffalo last season (as per http://snyrangersblog.com/rangers/r...to/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed), but like some people have mentioned he doesn't have the legs as some might assume. He might be a serviceable 6th/7th or depth D-man still, but as in the link I posted above said, it seems like AV wants him to mentor the youngins'. It's interesting non-the-less and it's a way better option over Kaberle. Let's see what he is still capable of and hope for the best.
Btw, Maple Leafs fans wanted him signed before he went down with this injury in preseason.
Edit: This is a way better link on the story....

A lot better than having Kurt Cobain and Claude Giroux lookalike in Kostka be the veteran role model down in HFD.
Tallinder did wonders for Tyler Myers when they were paired together.

If we're checking out guys--we'd be better off IMO giving Alfie a shot. He might not be a d-man but he can play the point on the pwp--probably for real. He had a pretty decent season for the Red Wings last year. He also was an Olympian.

I think he said he was retiring recently. It would be cool to see a conditional trade between Ottawa and Detroit so he could retire as a Senator.
He's announcing his retirement next week, because his body can't hold up physically anymore. If Alfie could have played this season, it would have been with Detroit.
Always loved watching him play.

I'd rather sign insurance like Tallinder to the league minimum (if in shape) - instead of deal a mid round pick for insurance like they did last year with Diaz.
Yeah, he was a necessary element down there, really calmed things down. Don't think he had the legs for an NHL defenseman however.
