Speculation: Trade Rumor/Speculation Thread XXIV: C'est la St. Louis?

[Clown Fiesta]

Hes already your avatar. How sweet.

You dont care one iota about the return going to Tampa, huh?

Lighten up. Sometimes you have to let go, if it's inevitable what can anyone do? Hope for the best. We can discuss the merits of the deal later. Your insights are generally quite good, but your personality takes away from them.

If people being excited about this kind of stuff bugs you avoid these threads at this time of year.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Not really. I'm confident none of the core pieces are going the other way. (Stepan, McDonagh, Lundqvist, Staal)

Agree with you here..maybe cally and two prospects

 

[NYR Viper]

Do we still amnesty Richards if we do somehow acquire St Louis?

Yes, without a doubt.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

I'm actually so glad Callahan isn't being reasonable. I wouldn't want him at the Rangers offer.

I agree. Far too much for what he is/will likely be on this team

 

[Carlos Ranger]

Do we still amnesty Richards if we do somehow acquire St Louis?

I'd say probably not. it'd be a lot harder to do. it would depend on how well they play together and how far the team goes.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Do we still amnesty Richards if we do somehow acquire St Louis?

This does concern me.. Should we? yes.. do we?.. that I dont know.

 

[Jackpot]

Funny enough, I swear people described Nash that way last season

Nash is just coming into his own as a Ranger....Should take MSL a little less time considering the coaching philosophy and teammates he will have around him...

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

Yes, without a doubt.

Yes, without a doubt you and I would buy out Richards. The question of will Sather buy out Richards is legit.

I guess yes but if the Rangers get St Louis who knows. Really, it might change his mind.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Jesus Boomer. Sorry. Just handle it differently next time is my advice.

But great job nonetheless.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Anyone think we can get St. Louis without Callahan? Then trade Cally in a separate deal?

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

I would think this would be a higher priority to TB to move an unhappy captain because they're trying to make a playoff push.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I actually expect this is how it happens.

 

[NYR Viper]

Anyone think we can get St. Louis without Callahan? Then trade Cally in a separate deal?

That's my hope.

Their fans would rather he suffer this season and get moved in the summer.

Don't see how unless we give players we don't want to give up. Callahan makes sense to us because chances are he's gone anyway.

I still don't get a Callahan MSL for the Lightning though.

 

[Ail]

If my dad was capable of using a computer I'd be convinced you're him. He's giddy about MSL and likely so, his favorite Rangers have always been good ones though. Big Nemchinov fan.

That's funny because DoTheBlue (my dad) said MSL is his favorite current non-Ranger as well.

 

[HockeyBurd*]

Very agitated about all. Will make avatar bet with you.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Anyone think we can get St. Louis without Callahan? Then trade Cally in a separate deal?

Not just possible, I'd say likely.

 

[Ail]

That's my hope.

Be careful what you wish for. What are they dealing to Tampa if it doesn't start with Callahan?

 

[NYR Viper]

Not just possible, I'd say likely.

Yeah I don't see TB interested in Callahan.

 

[haveandare]

If NYR can get St. Louis tomorrow without losing a first or a top tier prospect, and Girardi resigns as well, that'd just be fantastic.

 

[Ail]

Very agitated about all. Will make avatar bet with you.

All of us?

 

[Thirty One]

Anyone think we can get St. Louis without Callahan? Then trade Cally in a separate deal?

Maybe, but I still think the cost of St. Louis will be greater than the return on Callahan.

Jesus Boomer. Sorry. Just handle it differently next time is my advice.

But great job nonetheless.

Yes. I would totally be [expletive deleted] Boomer if he presented the story with even a trace of conservatism.

 

[NYR Viper]

Be careful what you wish for. What are they dealing to Tampa if it doesn't start with Callahan?

No idea. Prospects and picks? They don't exactly have the leverage.

 

[Cassano]

Wait, why are we hoping we deal separate pieces for MSL?

Callahan for MSL is like a grandslam. There is no downside to that swap IMO.
