Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline: Valid Rumors ONLY (Confirmed Trades in OP / Vanek to MTL )

[aufheben]

Robidas to replace Vatanen if he's dealt to Isles?

[14:48:35] <Lundqvist_Vezina> Bob McKenzie â€Â@TSNBobMcKenzie now
[14:48:37] <Lundqvist_Vezina> I am hearing NYR and Ryan Callahan are inching towards a contract agreement but they're not there...yet. #TSN #Tradecentre

Hold firm Sather dammit!

 

[Bluenote13]

The return on Fasth (ANA to EDM) was a 5th this year, 3rd next year.

3rd next year from Edmonton is like a late 2nd in a very good looking draft

Vanek strikes me as the kind of player to turn a decent team into a good team, not a great team into an even greater team. A guy who help teams struggling for offense, not the final cherry on top for a powerhouse.

Pittsburgh and Anaheim hardly need a poacher to score goals for them.

If I were those teams I'd be acquiring two way bangers like Glencross.

 

[Crease]

Hold firm Sather dammit!

 

[2Leetch_94]

So Rangers on the verge of another massive mistake. Whatever, used to it by now.

Trade Callahan, Stralman, + to ANA for Vatanen and Kerdiles.

Let the kids grow.

Stepan/Kerdiles/Miller

That's solid down the middle in a couple of years.

Unfortunately...i don't see Slats with that kind of patience.

it seems like Anaheim is gunning for Vanek and you can bet the Isles are going to want Vataanen in the package so Vataanen might be coming to New York, just not in the way you will like. Since Anaheim doesn't want rentals, I can't see any way we get Vataanen from them. We really have nothing they will want unless we are trading Stepan which seems counter productive. Or unless they want Richards! he's not a rental at all!

My reaction based off recent news that chances are Cally is resigning (at 6m or above).

****ing **** piece of **** ****ing **** we're ****ed.

That said, the ball is rolling on the deadline. I don't see us making a splash though.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Come on Sather, don't be stupid. You know he's not worth that much money.

If he really offered 6m x 6y.... Then apparently he doesn't.

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

 

[Callagraves]

Sather you son of a *****, you're going to make us wait until the last min, aren't you?

 

[I Eat Crow]

I just had a nightmare that Callahan re-signed for 7 years, 7.1 million per with full NMC. There were riots.

Vanek is a rental, too

 

[bhamill]

Vanek is a rental, too

Exactly.

 

[AHB*]

sign and trade at least...please

 

[Gardner McKay]

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

Thank god. Just ****ing trade him already. Please. Or publicly say he won't be resigned.

I don't always condone riots. But when I do, they're Rangers-related.

 

[Anthony Eclair]

We're signing one bad contract to deal with another bad contract. Well done, Slats.

 

[AHB*]

It's 3 hours past 12, there shouldn't be any more discussion.

 

[2Leetch_94]

So who wants to organize the next Fire Sather rally?

 

[DekeR]

We screw around with Callahans contract to the point that Slats loses the bigger picture, in actually making this team better. All these expiring contracts with a weak FA list to choose from, as the world continues to spin and the cigars continue to get smaller. Mediocrity rules the skies of NY yet again.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Sather can't be this stupid right? He has to be pandering to the idiot masses that think Callahan is the ****, right?

 

[Cmox]

Gah I hate this. I don't know what rumors are true. I'm on my phone so copy and pasting is a pain. but I just read Stepan+was offered for Kesler.

 

[Don Chytil]

Well that escalated quickly...

The guy doesn't learn from his mistakes. At least Cally's contract would be more movable than Richards or Drury's. Any type of NMC or NTC should be a deal breaker for Sather.
