Speculation: Trade / Roster Speculation Thread XXXII: To Smurf or not to Smurf

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Richie seems like a goner. 6.67 more to that.

LOL at thinking Sather won't replace him with an equal or even higher cap commitment.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

Which makes the situation even more confusing. Wait it out until the last possible minute and then pull the plug over $200k per year and trade-clause issues? Has to make you wonder if this was all a ploy to get Yzerman to think the Rangers would back out of a MSL deal by signing Callahan.

If the NMC was really the holdup I wonder if TB was planning on getting a signed Cally?

Personally I think it definitely was. Callahan appeared to be genuinely shocked too. Same with his teammates. They strung everyone along with the resign angle.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

Moulson deal might be better than the Vanek deal

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers could have traded Callahan for a 2nd and/or a prospect(not a great prospect). That wasn't helping the Rangers in the next 3-4 years.

What a steal for the Habs.

 

[TheTakedown]

What a steal for the Habs.

seriously what the **** glen. why wouldn't you go after someone for such low value!!!!!

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

Ana has 2 1sts & good prospects ... Why not Vanek?

So weird

Haha wow. Snow is WOAT.

So weird

They must feel that he probably wouldn't resign.

You think Snow would've traded him to us for a similar price? I doubt it.

A well run consistent contender that values draft picks and a strong farm eh?

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

They must feel that he probably wouldn't resign.

But with that team, why not take a shot at a cup with him? Prospect & 2nd? Just odd IMO. Snow must've pissed everyone off

 

[17futurecap]

No way Snow would have traded him to us, the Isle fans already may hang him, can't imagine shipping him to the their biggest rival.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Snow should be fired on the spot.

He basically turned Matt Moulson, a top 10 pick, and a 2nd rounder into a middling prospect.

 

[stan the caddy]

seriously what the **** glen. why wouldn't you go after someone for such low value!!!!!

Running low on draft picks.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

seriously what the **** glen. why wouldn't you go after someone for such low value!!!!!

Hey would asked for waaaay more just because we're the rangers

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

Lol does it matter if they don't win another cup either?

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

This really is unfathomable

So there's this: told that the San Jose Sharks went pretty far down the road on Ryan Callahan deal with NYR...

Any speculation on what it could have been?

.........but when they could not fleece Sather like they did in the Clowe deal, they backed away.

if snow was smart he would be opening to both teams and allowing them to bid on Vanek
