Speculation: Trade Rumor/Speculation Thread XX: Let's make it to XXX!

Brad Marchand. Someone asked about Marchant and Boomer said no. He also tweeted the Rangers possibly getting a conditional pick. It could be if the team acquiring Callahan signs him or reaches the Cup final or wins the Cup,the Rangers get a #1 or a #2 from a 3rd. Something like that. Boomer said the player would be going as a rental and Callahan is most likely headed to Buffalo in free agency. The Bruins haven't been happy with Marchand. Marchand taunted the Canucks in December when he pretended to lift the Cup skating by their bench. Julien was annoyed at him. Reilly Smith has replaced him at times in the top 6. Callahan for Marchand works cap wise. $4.5M for Marchand. $4.275M for Callahan. Boston takes on $800,000 in salary this season. The Bruins shed the remaining three years of the Marchand contract. $14M. $4.5M salary in each of the next 2 seasons. $5M in the last season. Boomer said think Carcillo. Marchand is a pain in the ass like Carcillo.

Chiarelli and Julien have been in Sochi as part of the Canadian team.

Agree. Think Marchand makes more sense - regarding the clues - than MSL.

Forgive me if I've misread but didn't a member say that fans already hit on the player but Boomer said no? Neil is the only guy from the east who I can see rangers fans hating "think carcillo" and causing a separation between fans. MSL definitely doesn't fit that.

You're reading in to that tweet incorrectly.

 

[Crease]

Boomer trolling NYR fans?

Boomer doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would drum up something out of nothing.

@7BOOMERESIASON I was going with the Blues but you mention Stewart is not involves. Thinking Moulson or Evander Kane
Btw I didn't sleep well

Boomer Esiason ‏@7BOOMERESIASON 5m
@lunanymets nope.

New.

 

[NernieBichols]

And then what? Do you really think this team is a St. Louis from being up there with the Bruins or the Pens?

Fact check, they're not. MSL will play what, maybe 3 more years, 5 max, which would bring him to 43-44.

This team doesn't need to get older. If we're selling one of our best homegrown players in recent memory, it sure as hell better not be for someone who is nearing 40.

Did you miss the dark ages around here or something? This is such a Rangers move it's pathetic.

And this is why it's controversial. But it works for a couple reasons. It adds offense, leadership, and a guy who is signed for another year or two.

It also helps what could be/can be an issue in the locker room where the team feels its gotten worse and that doesn't have a team with playoff aspirations.

But your feelings are well understood man

i hope it is not Brian Gionta...

 

[Crease]

Marchand and a conditional pick would be great value, IMO.

He is someone who enjoys the attention of 100 NYR fans bombarding his handle with inquiries.

 

[RangerBoy]

So the other player is in the Olympics

Maybe Boomer thinks Marchand played for Canada. He was invited their camp in August.

im guessing its Tuomo Ruutu... Sather type trade

Yeah but not, IMO, to the extent that he would be facetious about the legitimacy of a rumor.

 

[Doctyl]

Please don't let this be Kunitz

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Only nameso far that fits everything is MSL.

Could just be that Cally (and the other Rangers) escaped unscathed.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

sign me up if its anyone playing for Canada..

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Please don't let this be Kunitz

that does not make sense for the Penguins... he is Crosbys linemate and gotta keep the baby happy... if Cooke was in the east id think its him..

 

[Fitzy]

I will say, I'm not pleased Callahan is going to be traded. I remember his first games here like it was yesterday, guy was a mini version of Shanahan.

But I'm much happier that we're not giving him 7 million over 7 years, I expect he may very likely go full Drury in Buffalo in a few years.

@bill_goldthorpe players involved leave the Olympics healthy. Whew!

@7BOOMERESIASON so you're saying there's a chance

@bill_goldthorpe not for that

@7BOOMERESIASON throw us a bone. What 'Olympic teams' are involved

The Captain ‏@parcsalooc 7m
@7BOOMERESIASON has to be msl right?

MSL finally brought up, no response.

However it's now clear all players involved are Olympians.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Only nameso far that fits everything is MSL.

why would the Bolts do that... unless Rangers giving up a top pick

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Please don't let this be Kunitz

No way they break him up with Crosby

 

[NernieBichols]

Marchand and a conditional pick would be great value, IMO.

Definitely. This would mean that the Bruins are looking to move Marchand during the offseason at the very least.

But I don't see the conditional going to the rangers with Marchand being the return.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Marchand would be an amazing return. Has a great contract as well.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

is it been confirmed that its a forward?? could it be Callahan for a dman then flip a dman on the roster like for a forward??

Tom Grillo ‏@tgrillz85 3m
@7BOOMERESIASON The only guy that fits the mold you described, that you didn't say it wasn't is PK Subban! Habs would be nuts but let's see!

Boomer Esiason ‏@7BOOMERESIASON 1m
@tgrillz85 nope

Not PK, lol.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I expect the Rangers will be adding a pick.

And the only way it makes sense is if St Louis demanded a trade. With his NMC that always hurts value and forces GMs hands. Could be Olympic rift, could be family, who knows.
