i don't feel like callahan fills a need.
also people need to stop with the fantasies about trading clarkson. it's not happening right now, maybe not ever.

Not unless we need to make cap. However, I see Lupul being traded before Clarkson if that's the case. Also, no, we shouldn't touch any of Girardi or Callahan, unless it's a really cheap price involving like Franson for Girardi or something. Otherwise, it's acceptable. However, Girardi and Callahan are going to want a ridiculous price which means we are either stupidly going to pay it, or we are going to let them walk. They're both going to go to teams with a lot of cap and can resign them.
50 to 60 pt winger, that hits and adds leadership
If they did deal for him. I'd think it would have to be around Kadri. Considering Callahan and him would be making similar cap hits in the next two years. Decide whether you'd want that cap hit to go to Kadri or Callahan?
As for a deal
Kadri, Franson, and Kulemin. For Giradri, Callahan. Is pretty much on the dollar
Conditional pick around Girardi resigning
If they"ve come to a decision that Kadri can't be a C for them then maybe they do a. Deal like this. Would make them a hard team to play against.

this is a terrible idea. girardi and callahan are both UFAs at hte end of the year. and then you want to add a conditional pick if Girardi re-signs?
even if they were going to give up kadri (and i think it would be a bad idea) it shouldn't be for a winger. we don't need another guy like that. also it sounds like callahan wants the same sort of contract clarkson has. we don't need to give out another one of those albatrosses.
What we need we haven't been able to acquire for a long time. Guys like Callahan are always a great addition to any team if you're able to acquire them.
What about Lupul and Franson or Gardiner to Colorado for O'Reilly and Seimens. Put O'Reilly on Kadri's wing

I personally have it thrown up between Fraser, Raymond, Kulemin, Franson, Orr and McLaren. I don't know who, but I think it will be one of them in order to open up enough cap to do something bigger and to be able to afford to bring back Bolland.

I'd personally like to lose all of the players I listed. Other than Kulemin, I think all of them can easily be upgraded upon. Even Kulemin can have a run for his money from 23 year old Jerry D'Amigo.

I would like to see more grit in Raymond's spot. He's far too easy to play against that when he is not adding secondary scoring. He is a negative for us.

Or D'Amigo. He provides a lot of energy there, and plays a lot like Kulemin, which is something we could use there.
Also, perhaps since Bolland and Clarkson both are able to snipe/ plant themselves in front of the net for rebounds, perhaps a playmaking compliment like Abbott will be better. His hard shot would create a lot of rebounds to be cleaned up, he still likes to fight hard for pucks in the dirty areas, he has great vision and IQ which is essential for crunch time. He may not be the biggest body, but with Bolland and Clarkson it won't matter too much. He provides secondary scoring, will make his linemates better, and will be far better defensively than Raymond. If only he wasn't 5'9" and 165 lbs.

Thanks to denial, I’m immortal.
Hey can one of the mods add a "speculation" tag to this thread. Its hard finding it through all the other pinned posts without the green speculation tag sticking out.

You can't tell by the actual titles?
I would be fine with Komarov pulling a Radulov and jumping back to the NHL for a playoff push. He was great last season, and I'd certainly welcome him back if we are able to turn Raymond, Kulemin, McClement into assets.
For as much praise as McClement gets for his PK and defensive abilities.... we're second last in the NHL this year in PK%. Last season we were second BEST (at 87.9%, just 0.1% behind Ottawa for top spot)
The only player that saw major PK time last year, that isn't on the team this year?.... Leo Komarov. He's a better than 50% faceoff man, and averaged a little under 2 mins of short-handed TOI last season.
Bring this guy back, and our bottom 6 group is better (even if we deal McClement). I know it would burn a year of his rights, and he'd be free to sign elsewhere in the offseason, but the fact that he wouldn't cost us a pick or prospect is great. If we could give him McClement's money, I'd probably even resign him!

I think Nonis will be pushing for Callahan. Remember reading a month or so ago that he was looking for a top 6 forward.. Ryan is just that plus he brings an all around game.

I believe Alex Radulov did this last or the year b4 for Nashville for the playoffs
