What was he supposed to do? Trade these guys for less because he should be impatient? He is trying to get the best deals for this organization moving forward. Them getting hurt is the risk you take, but he is handling it correctly.

Thats hard to say. You are getting a big upgrade scoring the puck, but losing a lot on the defensive side.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
I seriously don't think we have to go through all of that. Yzerman HAS TO trade MSL to us, and he at least
coups a Cally in the meantime......maybe he flips him......and that's the hold up.
It's hard to predict what losing Girardi would do to our defense, but Slats could rather easily line up a separate trade for a rental d-man capable of eating 15-18 minutes/game. Trading deadlines usually contains a couple of those deals.
Glencross has a NMC. Usually, when he is included in proposals, Flames fans appear stating that CG signed a hometown discount deal to stay with the Flames, as he has built a farm or something and loves it up there.
Stralman is a no-brainer to resign in either case IMO. In that interview someone posted about a month ago it seemed he and his family really loves it in the NY area and that they'd love to stay. I'm sure he can be resigned to fair, cap-friendly deal. I don't think his value as a rental is high enough, the value for the Rangers lies in keeping him. He's been real solid this season and seems to fit AV's system perfectly.
Nonsense. Youre letting all this trade stuff go to your head.
In the end, all that matters is winning games. I'd be pissed if the team didnt put out its strongest current roster because of trade innuendo.

Exactly. Vatenan is not even with the big team. They need to make a run one of these years and this may be the year. Danny G immediately makes them the favorite to get out of the West assuming St. Louis and Chicago do not upgrade as well. Duck fans always just say no without really understanding what it will take to get over the hump. If they keep Vatenan, that's fine. But they will need to pull off a few upsets to win the Cup.
It's not just Vatanen for me though. Need more. OTT 1st, Etem/Kerdiles/???
OTT 1st won't even be a lottery pick. It's not crazy to sacrifice that one.
good good.
btw Kesler apparently hates AV so he wont be coming lol.........per Kypreos and some Vancouver reporter
That's ok, Kesler at 30 and battling injuries recently would be a similar path driven by callahan...though I guess you can say his cap hit his lower...
MSL and whatever the return is for Girardi.
Move on.

Anybody ever consider that Cally and maybe Gerardi have a similar view and that is why their attitudes have hardened?

Ottawa has interest in Stewart supposedly. Which if that's the case the Rangers must be holding out hope that they can get a better return for Callahan.
From what I gathered, Kessler does NOT hate AV.
I suggested a Cally for Kessler trade earlier this season and did some due diligence to see if it was in fact a pertinent trade - especially on that front.
AV suggested Kessler wasn't playing up to the level he could have played at. Kess was injured, that's what he blamed his troubles on. AV came out and said he disagreed and that the onus was on the player to stop making excuses.
AV shortly lost the locker room after that as he threw Luongo under the bus too several weeks later.
Kess' agent and Kess themselves came out saying there was no rift between him and AV. I'm sure it may have been a little awkward afterwards, but both sides were adamant that dislike and hate were not part of the aftermath.
It may not be ideal for Kess to be reunited with AV, but it doesn't appear that he "hates" him either.

For the love of God let it Stewart go until there is further indication that he's a possibility.

Still no word on any of the 2nd tier guys like Boyle, Moore or Stralman. What's the plan? Let them all walk at the end of the year?
Exactly what I was thinking....maybe cally convinced Danny G to go to free agency and then they sign somewhere together
I think the F.O is ok with letting any of them go afterwards. No pressure to get assets for them.
