As I put in the other thread. We are moving him because Steve decided not to offer him a spot in the Canadian Olympic hockey team, and he got furious over it. We moved him because he forced the trade.

Yzerman wants St. Louis value of 3-4 years ago. Not gonna get it now though. Rumor is he would want Cally and a top prospect and/or a high draft pick in return for St. Louis. Rangers will need to look elsewhere for a trade. I'd look at the AV's for Statsny or Buffalo for Moulson.

Nope

Rangers send Cally and 2 picks to Tampa for St Louis? Fucking fail

Callahan had been seeking a six-year deal worth between $6.25 million and $6.5 million annually, a source confirmed Wednesday to ESPN.com. The Rangers were willing to offer him a six-year deal at $6 million per year.

So they ship him out over 250k? :blowup

lol Yzerman just raped the Rags :dog

For the picks? Yeah. We need the offense, especially on the PP

Cally never broke 30goals or 25assists in a season so have fun with that :wave2 and re-signing him for max money

Watching Stevie Y live presser - getting grilled by the media :dog and he is not amused

I love him as GM. Dude has made good move after good move. This move was forced, at worst we lost St. Louis for nothing..even if Callahan doesn't resign we got two good picks out of it. We had no option of retaining Louis and he wanted to go to the Rangers...can't think he could have done a better job in the situation he was put in.

He got 2 conditional picks, that doesn't make them good.

But yeah, I agree he got the best he could considering his position.

I saw the 2nd round pick is conditional, the first wasn't.

This is from NYR blog:

There are two picks-related conditions in the trade. If the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference finals this season, the 2014 pick headed to Tampa Bay would become a first-round selection. If Callahan, a pending unrestricted free agent, re-signs with the Lightning, New York would receive a second-round pick in 2015 and Tampa Bay would get an additional seventh-round pick in 2015.

Agreed, he is instant offense that we need is the poster boy for a 'set up' man.

If he stays healthy I won't complain, he'll produce more than Cally ever will.

I just don't like getting older long term if they lock him up

it varies from player to player,

lemieux could still score at a high level up until the very end

joe sakic was awesome for a very long time, as was stevie Y

Very true, just look at Jagr - guy is still an offensive threat every shift at his age.

NY plays tonight so we'll see how losing their Captain and gaining St Louis affects them :dunno

NY sent MSG-1 down to fly him up for tonight's game :shocker :ROFL :facepalm

LA Kings got Gaborik for basically nothing... :shocker

i dont see how pitt got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING done at the trade deadline

i mean we are in first, but we still have a TON of holes....

Sometimes making no moves is better than making a flurry of moves.

Like you said, your boys are in first by a wide margin so no need to make a move if it isn;t completely necessary.

Getting a goalie would have been my priority in Pitt, I'm sure they've been shopping but other teams may have been asking too much in return :dunno
