I'd do this deal immediately.
If Zuccarello has a broken hand, it could potentially change things.

So NYR would get 2 Players and a pick for Callahan. If the Blues want to do that, I would say go for it.
It's worth noting that Stewart plays on the 1st line in St. Louis with Backes and Steen.
Good point, forgot about that.

He hurt his hand in the last game he played in Sochi (yesterday I assume?). Originally they thought it was just a sting, but then it swelled up this morning

It's also worth noting that that's not true. Maybe at some point he has played with Backes and Steen, but neither of them is in his top 10 icemates on the season. His most frequent linemates have been Derek Roy and Brenden Morrow.

How does Cally stack up v Moulson/Vanek; those 2 will probably decrease what leverage Slats has in trade possibilities. Teams know what Cally can do in SC playoffs. Moulson was ok (3pts in 6 g) last year, and Vanek has 20pts in36g. I think Vanek sets the market w/Cally next than Moulson

Wait, what? What did I miss? When did this happen! I take a break from the board and **** hits the fan!

Total speculation. Info is that it's swollen and not fractured after MZA blocked a shot with his hand vs. Austria. Still, he's a guy the NYR can ill-afford to lose for any time whatsoever.
I'd be very happy with that return. Make it conditional: Edmonton's 2nd that becomes the Blues' 1st if they make the SCF.

And if we trade Cally for a mediocre prospect and a 28-30 overall pick we will get what exactly? Enlighten us!

The US / Russia game was watched by a huge number of people and has been the focus of more mass media treatment than any NHL game I can remember in a long, long time. That's a reward.

Yup, this year's Winter Classic on NBC garnered 4.4 million viewers.
U.S. / Russia *non-medal* game on *NBCSN* had a peak of almost 6.5 million viewers during the shootout. Of course that helps the NHL and hockey.

Exactly. They have the pieces to replace Stewart. He is redundant on their team. No on the Rangers.
The Rangers get a young puck mover and a pick which will be good either way.
Because the US was playing Russia. The former Soviet Union. Miracle on Ice. It was more than a hockey game.
A young puck mover who is 2.5-3.5 years away from being able to step into the NHL if he even makes an NHL roster.
A 3rd line winger who will have to be traded or extended at an extended premium in a few years.
A fringe 1st round pick, good 2nd round pick that may or may not turn out to be Boo Nieves - a guy who is a project who may or may not make a team.
For:
A current 2nd line winger, who would be an ideal candidate on ANY playoff team, who happens to be our captain, on a team that currently can be argued as the 3rd best team in the East...
Makes perfect sense for the Blues. Makes... little sense for us.

And the last time a huge number of people watched USA hockey it was because it was the gold medal game. That was more than a hockey game too. But, it was also a hockey game, and those people did watch it. There's a story behind any good game that a bunch of people watch, that doesn't mean it's not good publicity for the sport.
