Trade Deadline

Hefty price:

Yup, if that's the deal. I don't think I'd do that if I were Sather.

Actually, they're saying that Callahan would just be a rental, so on second thought not that big of a price to pay.

 

[#1PilarFan]

St. Louis is old, but he's still a great player. As for Callahan, I guess I'm in the minority when I say I don't think much of him. 

 

[Deebo]

Renaud Lavoie says its a done deal now.

Yeah, if Callahan signs back in NY. I don't believe Callahan is worth what he's asking and probably would have traded him also, but I think I would have kept that 2nd rounder.

Yzerman is going to try and sign Callahan if he trades for him, no?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'd do Gardiner and Reimer for Edler. Although it'd suck to see two players that I really like in a Canucks jersey.

The thinking is no, which seems strange, but, at the same time, St Louis has become somewhat of an unnecessary distraction. TBay may in fact be thinking of flipping him.

 

[Kin]

If Callahan could get flipped for another first and a prospect that would be a very reasonable return for St. Louis, especially if he wants out.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Will MSL play tonight?  Would be good to play them without Callahan and MSL.

I imagine there's plenty time for MSL to get to NYC for tonight's game.

Yeah, it's kind of developing here, but Dreger just said Tampa may have to give up a pick if he does sign.

Thought maybe there would be red tape...fax machines jamming...

 

[azzurri63]

On TSN done deal MSL for Callahan first in 15 second rounder in 14

The Leafs aren't involved in the deal. No fax machines to be jammed.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Yeah, that might have been too easy. So...is there a contract in the league you wouldn't take for Clarkson one for one?

The only ones that I would avoid would be players who could rake up a huge recapture penalty if they retire early. But I think for the most part those contracts are structured so the team that signed them gets the penalty, or at least the vast majority of it.

So to answer your question, probably not.

Yeah.  That would be a pretty big upgrade on defense. 

As for St. Louis to the Rangers.  The Rangers get better and I think Tampa gets worse in the short term (but the draft picks are nice).  That probably helps the Leafs playoff chances.

PHANEUF NOT ON ICE AT PRACTICE!!!

TBay does get Stamkos back today, though, all in all, they probably come out ahead of where they were when we woke up this morning. With the Rangers improving, it actually probably hurts the Leafs chances.

Wow, that St. Louis deal is awful.

St.Louis for a 2014 2nd + 2015 1st

IF New York makes the Conference Finals they give up a 2014 1st
IF Tampa re-signs Callahan they give up a 2015 2nd and get New York's 7th

I think it has to be seen in the context of the Rangers realizing that Callahan wasn't going to be re-signed. At that point if it becomes dealing Callahan for a first or whatever vs. using him to try and make a run at it...it's tough.
