Steve Ott is not an upgrade over Callahan.
grit & skill and someone NYR fans hate.... Lucic?
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!
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

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.
So praying for Lucic. It's gotta be him or Marchand if a deal is being made with Boston.
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.
Based on what Boomer said; top 6 and an upgrade....it cant be clarkson or ott unless boomer has really lost his touch.
EXCEPT that it's a player we hate...
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.
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.
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!
