Speculation: Trade / Roster Speculation Thread XXIX: Down To The Wire

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Sorry but that shouldnt come into the decision when youre talking about a longterm deal of this magnitude.

What are the chances Vigneault is here that long, anyway.

Sather is a loony toon.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Have we overpaid for a goon yet?

That will happen tomorrow at around 2:55pm.

After the Ranger do nothing, "Hearing Rangers made a trade." yayyy "Rinaldo for a 2nd + Fast"

I really don't think they could build a serious cup contending team with $15MM tied up between a declining winger and a goalie. Tied up way too much money with Hank.

Basically. I don't mind the look of Callahan on a rebuilding team because in the Bad Years, there will be a ton of guys getting better and picking up the slack. Callahan, Nash, Lundqvist and Richards (PLEASE don't keep him ) will all be riding out the same decline at the same time.

Im thinking this comes down to AV wanting him on his team.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Guys, just for the record, there's no such thing as a deadline in a negotiation until the opportunity isn't there anymore.

You can ALWAYS come back and say "we've reconsidered."

Resign Cally at 6 yrs for around 36 million, buyout Richards at the end of the yr and go from there. Do not blow up the roster for Yakupov because he is going to be like Kovalev .

Yakupov can only pray he turns out to be anything close to the player Kovalev was.

If Yakupov turned into anything like Kovalev I'd blow the roster up for him in a second.

 

[Boom Boom Geoffrion*]

The problem is I have no faith in Sather to not royally screw this up.

Looks at avatar. Confirms post.

We won't have the money too. We're going to blow our load on Callahan. Intangibles > Everything else.

 

[Hire Sather]

Probably one of those "guessing" twitters after seeing rumors saying how close it is

 

[Matt4776]

Please no.

Fine, he could have him, just let him walk then. Id be fine with that as an alternative to what is about to happen.

LOL
oh God.....

I think he definitely can.

 

[offdacrossbar]

my level of anger will be off the charts if we resign cally and do absolutely nothing else.

do i believe we are good enough to go on a hot streak and win some games ? yes.

do i believe we are talented enough to compete against teams who went out and got better while we stayed the same ? no.

do i believe we will continue to struggle to score goals ? yes.

am i bummed cally will be on this team for 6 more years. yes.

this is setting up to be a very bad day in rangerland.

the only saving grace will be the comic hilarity that will ensue when the extension is announced and all the HF bodies start piling up under bridges and tall buildings.

I'm hearing Rick Nash was just traded for Ron Low's dead cat's ashes in a Mountain Dew can.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Here's a question, Sather:

What does it tell you that 99% of fans hate that this is going to happen? And let's face it, this isn't exactly Michal Rozsival. This is one of the most beloved players in Rangers history.


I really hate Sather, but I hate Dolan even more for his apathy.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Not legit source. Probably only 5%. Not 15% like my source.

 

[RGY]

Rumors of setoguchi to SJ per Mckenzie

 

[Guyute]

at least we don't lose cally for nothing. maybe in a year we flip him to buffalo for some legit assets.

 

[Crease]

Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. I hate myself.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Sather:

Resigns Cally.

Fans revolt/rejoice.

Trades Brassard Hagelin/Miller and a 2nd for Kessler.

 

[RGY]

@KevinWeekes: As per my recent discussion w @NYRangers,status quo w Callahan nothing new to report.

 

[offdacrossbar]

we had to add something, yes ?

 

[RonGreschner]

Kovalev was horrible on the Rangers, way too much Brighton Beach nights. He couldn't play in the bright lights of NYC. However every where else he was awesome.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The only comfort we will have is with each other in the confines of cyberspace. No one else cares, nor should they. How depressing.

This team sucks. If Sather does this it will be one of the most disappointing days as a Rangers fan.
