Buffalo is a team that spoke to Cally's agent, told him that they will offer him 7 yr $47M as a free agent but will not be trading for him.

Makes no sense for them to trade for him. OTT, and Moulson will get them 2 1st rounders at least. Buffalo isn't going to let that go.
 
Whoa. If Boomer tweeted that Marty thing yesterday, guess it does gotta be LOL.

Like I said earlier, its not as crazy as it sounds. Age/size aside, the guy did lead the NHL in scoring LOL.

I guess we'll see. Man, I gotta get some zzzzzs!.
 
Awesome chart by Kreider breaking down the Q and A Boomer did, just looked at it, this is why I don't think it's Clarkson..

"We looking at a tremendous upgrade? i would think so"
 
As a friend just pointed out in an email, Toronto is just about the same proximity to Cally's home in Rochester as is Buffalo.
So the Leafs would not only have the theoretical chance of resigning Cally, they'd have Clarkson's money to do it with. Interesting. Guess I'd live with it, but I want Biggs too!

The trade would be terrible for the Rangers. I'd rather have Cally at 6.8 than Clarkson on his 5M deal. A good third liner can bring everything Clarkson can.

The only reason he hit 30 was because he was DeBoar's boy, and he gave him a ton of PP time with Kovalchuk. If Benoit Pouliot of the last two months was a tough guy, you would have equal value to Clarkson.
 
Why would Boston get rid of a guy like Marchand who is a quintessential Bruin. Does the name 'Marchand' jump into the mind as a player hated by Rangers fans? I just don't see it.

Clarkson would make no sense at all. Toronto already screwed up by chasing after him, no reason to be Toronto v.2

Wasn't it said that the whole "think Carcillo" thing wasn't pertaining to the player being traded to the Rangers, but rather Boomer's thoughts on Ott?

And agree. Clarkson for Cally trade would be disgusting.
 
I have no idea where you guys are getting the "player Ranger fans would hate" hint from.

That was when Boomer was asked his opinion on Ott. Did not seem connected.

I think you might be right. When I saw Kreiders chart (awesome) and saw the Q and A side by side. I read it as boomer saying he wouldn't like Ott if he wasn't on the team, think carcillo
 
First line talent, tremendous upgrade, offense, grit and skill, a debatable trade,




yeah this just screams Ott and Clarkson... :sarcasm: it doesn't even scream Marchand. Come on.

People were reading in to the Ott question completely out of context, and it was misleading. I don't think we should be gleaning the player in question being traded for is someone we have or will hate. His response was specifically about Ott.

I don't have a great guess, but MSL still fits the profile better than any of the other suggestions, and while it makes zero sense from our perspectives having limited insight, that doesn't mean something else is not going on we don't know about. The MSL rumor earlier at least gives a motive, even if it is not a great source. Maybe the way he was handled during the entire Olympics was enough to say "**** you" to Steve Y. All speculation, but what good reason would Tampa have to trade him as many others have already astutely pointed out?

Regardless, no one has suggested anyone else that fits the profile, and does make sense. Then again, how often does trading first line talent within the conference for a 3rd RW rental make sense?
 
I definitely dont love David Clarkson LOL. it wont be Lucic, if we traded Boston 3 Callahans.

I respect MSL a ton. it would be an offensive upgrade, no question.
Reuniting him with Richards - who I cant wait to buy out - on our 3rd line? Gotta say, that's pretty good considering Sather's tough spot.

It's just, we're the smurfs again hahaha... Oh boy.

Biggest telltale sign for me would be we were after MSL heavy last year. Richards worked out with him all off-season. Even gave him that nice little plaque in TB before the game LOL;

and I think St Louis was steaming at Yzerman when he was left off Team Canada. That really was a terrible slight.
 
Wasn't it said that the whole "think Carcillo" thing wasn't pertaining to the player being traded to the Rangers, but rather Boomer's thoughts on Ott?

And agree. Clarkson for Cally trade would be disgusting.

Yeah that sounded like Boomer's thoughts on Ott. Ott, Carcillo, Marchand, Clarkson are rats. Guys like that generate a lot of buzz, but none a upgrades.

My gut tells me the Rangers are looking for a big center. Maybe Spezza from OTT who has been somewhat disenfranchised for the last couple of seasons.

Lets not forget OTT has seen what they can do without him last year, and fans in OTT have had their pitchforks directed at him. Kyle Turris plays with their best wingers, not Spezza.

OTT needs salary relief in a bad way. They won't be re-signing Spezza after next year.
 
Based on what Boomer said; top 6 and an upgrade....it cant be clarkson or ott unless boomer has really lost his touch.

No Boomer knows hockey. He is an actual fan of the sport, and knows what he sees. Probably the only local talk sports guy that does.
 
HatTrick Swayze - I just saw your quoted post. Thanks for realigning my mind. I came in late on this and thought that the player rumoured to be acquired by the Rangers was 'hated'.

Again, thanks for the clarification. It was driving me a bit nuts.
 
EXCEPT that it's a player we hate...

Yes, this was a poor translation from people reading his response out of context because every other response was about the player being traded for, except this one.

I hate to quibble, but Marchand would be an upgrade.

The thought of Spezza is very interesting. Myself, I would not want Spezza, but if can think of a team in the East who wants to move pieces, Ottawa comes to mind. Bryan Murray likes to trade.
 
Bryan Murray likes to trade.

Yeah. But he's been a GM since like 1994, Sather forever, and the two have never made a trade.
Plus Spezza can't skate anymore. Not that I wouldnt take him :)

Boomer is right in that MSG vortex; he had Klein way before it happened. I gotta think that Marty tweet from yesterday pretty much says it.

It's blowing my mind actually LOL; cant seem to stop posting and need to work 6am!

I would be ecstatic if it was MSL. For all the controversy that came from the snub, MSL is playing in the Olympic Gold Medal game a few hours from now.

It could be that MSL wants to be closer to his family. They live in CT. MSL is in CT every off season. That is the shock right there.

Cally plus conditional 1st for MSL?
