Confirmed with Link: Ryane Clowe to Rangers for NYR 2013 2nd, FLA 2013 3rd, Conditional 2nd 2014

As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, it's SJ's 2nd, FLA's 3rd and conditional 2nd (on re-signing or winning two playoff series). If not, it becomes 5th.
 
If Clowe returns to form, it's a good trade. If he continues to suck, it's a stupid trade. Reserve judgment.

I'm wary of giving up picks, but I love Clowe. He's freakin' awesome, and he's exacly what this team needs. A mix of toughness, skill, and size. When was the last time we had a Ryane Clowe-like player?

I'll be straight with you, I had no idea we even has San Jose's 2nd in the first place. FLA's 3rd would have been for Wolski at the deadline last year.

Clowe is a far better player than Pyatt. It's really not that close. He's had a down year, but he's pretty easily a better player.

Well in all seriousness, he might get Pyatt out of the lineup and at this point that might be worth 3 picks.

a guy having a down year

on his way to 31

and who may bolt for vancouver in the summer....

Is it really?

Sharks fans are pretty pissed and feel that they didn't get enough.

So it may actually be a pretty fair deal if both sides are annoyed.

Reading the SJ board, he hasn't sucked. He's been snakebitten, much like Gaborik has been. He's still a valuable player if he isn't scoring because of his size and strength along the boards, and he's still putting up assists. He's always been more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, and he's not a shooter, but he but he drives to the net and he goes in front of the net. Could help the PP.

Their board has been a wealth of information. They are all pissed.
 
Boyle and Pyatt are the most sensible salary dumps. Can lose over 3 million between the two of them.

I'd be shocked if we offhandedly dumped Gaborik, and we're not moving Stralman with our D corps in shambles.
 
You know what? I never wanted Clowe for what I thought we'd have to give to get him, but this is absolutely tolerable and i'm glad we made the trade. This makes us a better team.

We gave up 3 picks for Taylor Pyatt lite. Unbelievable.

The only comparison between Taylor Pyatt and Ryane Clowe is that they are both hockey players. Clowe is everything this team has been missing since Brandon Prust left. Rough, physical and hard noised. You want a guy to make Chris Neil pay, this is your guy. And while I am painfully aware he hasn't scored any goals this year, He's averaged 20 a year over the past 5 years. You wouldn't be getting him for this price if he was having an average year.

I like Clowe a lot. I get to see him play quite a bit and understand his limits. He is not Rocket Richard. I also know that for a long time he's been the one heart and soul player on a team without much heart or soul. That's a big burden to carry.

I think Pyatt may actually be headed back to Phoenix. After all, what would the deadline be without a Coyote-Ranger trade?
 
Does he play strictly on the left?

Do you have one of him or Hags play on the right between Boyle against Pitt tomorrow?
 
At least if he re-signs it wasn't a rental.

Still holding judgment on this move. Going to have to make a believer out of me on this one.

Exactly.

The Rangers are a better team with Clowe - they gave up no roster players, and they gave up no prospects.

If it's anyone, it will be Hags. Clowe will get an opportunity with the top guys -- as he should.

I kind of want to see:

Clowe - Stepan - Nash
Zucc - Richards - Gabby
Hags - Boyle - Callahan
Plug - Plug - Plug
