News Article: TBL Resign Callahan; Rangers acquire 2nd Rd Pick

[Beacon]

Jokes aside though, I'd expect us to find a way to get back into the first either this year or next.

I would bet you any amount of money that this won't happen.

Did we get a #2 in 2014 or 2015?

2015.

Bolts get our 7th.

Callahan trade

UFA Ryan Callahan, NYR 2014 1st round pick (#28), NYR 2015 1st round pick, NYR 2015 7th round pick to Tampa Bay Lightening for Martin St Louis (signed for one more year) and TBL 2015 2nd round pick

With the Rangers not having a first last year, this year or next year I can see them trying to move up into the first round either this year or next. Even though this hasn't been Sather and Co's MO in the past.

I think there is a better chance next year having the two second round picks and it being a "deeper" draft according to the hockey pundits.

I think that next year, with two seconds, they look to move up. Maybe with the picks and Marc Staal or someone. We'll have McDonagh, Girardi, Klein, Staal, possibly Stralman, and hopefully some guys like McIlrath and Allen ready for full time action (with Skjei potentially in the mix). I know it's not Sather's usual style, I just have a gut feeling. You guys are probably right though, in that if we make a move with those picks and a defenseman it will probably be for an NHL player rather than a high pick.

Good for Cally, an honest hard working guy, a class act....

You forgot the 7th rounder we gave up
It was always that pick that mattered

Funny thing is MSL has a lower cap hit than Callahan. Let that sink in.

Gaborik too. Scary.

 

[NickyFotiu]

To be honest I'm kind of surprised and relieved that Tampa re-signed Cally. The trade now looks much easier to swallow with us getting back Tampa's 2015 2nd round pick. I thought Yzerman might like to be able to say he traded MSL for two 1st round picks outright. Now it really does seem like a fair trade considering MSL has a much friendlier and flexible contract.

 

[Sayba]

Somehow he got on team USA and then this contact. I don't get it, he is not a top 6 forward on a good team.

He was far from a superstar this season here. Maybe next year.

Sometimes players are rewarded for their past more than their future. Nash made Team Canada as well. I wish Cally all the luck in the world. If Sather gave this deal to him for 6 years I think most fans would be worried.

Yeah I didn't get that. He made it due to that leadership role, despite the fact that he was having a poor season. How he made the team over a guy like Okposo may be the reason USA didn't medal. Cally gets nearly 6 mil and hey it's okay according to a lot of Tampa fans because he has intangibles! Where have we seen that before.

 

[FJB]

LOL @ Cally's new contract. BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!

 

[bernmeister]

ROR will never be a captain. He's a selfish ******.

On the nose!

 

[bernmeister]

Need to win.

Need to build in order to win.

And if we're gonna trade Stepan, which I constantly advocate, at least let's do it for an actual or apparent upgrade.

Something which is ESSENTIALLY Stepan for ROR is ESSENTIALLY coke for pepsi. It is not a real build. It is a lateral move.

But every one of your posts isn't coke for pepsi. It's more coke for sizzurp

Tons of Ranger bashing over in TB's Callahan thread; said they should get used to Cally's annual no-show in the playoffs...

We all know about the honeymoon phase over here. They will be cursing him and his 6 million a year soon enough.

They'll be making trade proposals to get rid of him on the trade board sooner rather than later. Absolutely awful contract.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

2nd rounders since 2005:

Anisimov
Lafleur
Stepan
Werek
Thomas
Nieves

Hit or miss. Having two gives you flexibility.

 

[Larrybiv]

So ultimately its Callahan and 2 first rounders for St. Louis and a 2nd round pick.

Since the first rounder is so low its almost like Cally and a 1st for St. Louis. Thats pretty fair.

AND freeing up the semi-long term contract he wanted in which we could not afford for a player that wanted a pretty penny, and would eventually break down towards end of contract. (sorry Cally). We simply cannot clutter up this team with long terms and have hands tied for years to come.

It's already Hank, Dan, McD, Klein, Nash. Kreids, Zuccha, certainly to follow.
