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.

I don't think that the majority of the fans who go to the games have as much of a problem with it like we do. I'd like to think that fans on HF know more about the business side of hockey than most other fans.

So ****ing pissed, this is such ********. Absolutely terrible contract for a player who does absolutely ****ing nothing. Useless and overpaid. Here you have it everyone, Drury 2.0! :shakehead:

EDIT: IS THERE ANY HOPE?

@RealKyper: #bluejackets Gaborik name picking up steam. Now becoming a cheaper alternative for a few teams looking for scoring like the #Kings.

I have to say, Bartlett played Sather like a ****ing fiddle. No matter what spin the Rangers organization puts on this Bartlett just bended Sather over and ****ed his ****.

1) Bartlett knows Callahan wants to stay.
2) Bartlett comes out with outrageous demands that kills Callahan's trade value as anything more than a rental, knowing full well they will have to come down to sign with the Rangers.
3) Sather is backed into the wall because he either trades the Captain for subpar value as a rental, let's the Captain walk, or he re-signs him to a terribly overpriced deal.
4) Sather eventually caves because of the PR disaster faced with either letting Callahan walk or trading him for what is perceived as poor value.
5) Callahan "comes down" to a "respectable" number knowing full well that he is already getting paid well over his value.

Sather must be crying in a corner.

You guys remember that feeling?

That feeling when you plopped on hfboards. And opened two tabs - Main trade forum. And the Rangers forum. And you saw:

Confirmed with Link:

And before your eyes finished reading the rest of the sentence this awful feeling started brewing in your stomach. And lasted. And lasted. And lasted. Until the day Redden was bought out?

Prepare for it. :facepalm:

Embrace the Suck. It'll hurt less. I think.

Sigh . . . . . . . .

Yeah, the fair-weather businessmen who go to games just because they can...but that's a topic for another time.

Nice summary. This is why well run franchises lock up or trade their core before they are months from hitting UFA.
