roomtemp Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is a long shot but does anyone have a text alert service that's free and will give me trade alerts? I have a dumb phone (can't trust myself to not drain the battery if my phone could play games have an iPod touch for that.) and I'd like to know if anything is going on at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 That's a ton for St. Louis, who is still very productive...but signed only through next year, and kind of old. Bob McKenzie@TSNBobMcKenzie1 min Assuming St. Louis deal is finalized, I believe Tampa is looking at Callahan as a rental. No appetite for 6 years or $6M per. #Tradecentre Considering the above tweet it seems like a strange deal all round. Basically Tampa are getting a 1st and a 2nd.

Daniel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 That's a ton for St. Louis, who is still very productive...but signed only through next year, and kind of old. It's actually a pretty awful return for Tampa, especially if they have no interest in giving Callahan an extension. Basically a low first round pick, and a second. Even worse if the picks are this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No appetite for 6 years or $6M per. #Tradecentre This would be insane for the Lightning. A low first round pick and a second would essentially be the return for a guy like St. Louis. They are a worse team this year with Callahan, who they evidently don't want to re-sign anyway. Which means they might even be looking to trade him?

Basically a low first round pick, and a second. Even worse if the picks are this year. Well despite his productivity, St. Louis' age plays into this as well. a 1st and a 2nd is always a solid return, because those picks can then be flipped for bodies if you don't want to use them in the draft. Callahan is not the player that St. Louis is, but he's not crap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Which means they might even be looking to trade him? It's interesting in that Francessa mentioned that he heard that St. Louis to the Rangers would require another team to be involved. Maybe the Rangers picks end up with the Isles, and Vanek ends up in Tampa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneax Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) It's interesting in that Francessa mentioned that he heard that St. Louis to the Rangers would require another team to be involved. Maybe the Rangers picks end up with the Isles, and Vanek ends up in Tampa? Or maybe Tampa thinks they can trade Callahan straight up for Vanek + a 1st, seems the isles are pretty dumb like that . But in seriousness maybe a true straight up deal (guy for guy) works cuz the Isles could use a guy like RC imo, and they have the ability to sign him.

Daniel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 SiriusXM NHL Network @SiriusXMNHL 39s As Per @LavoieRenaud Martin St-Louis is traded to the Rangers for Ryan Callahan. Ughh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tampa may try to flip Callahan again who knows. It's probably a fair return considering st. Louis was said to only be interested in going to the rags... Kinda killed some of tampas leverage. I just don't understand why after so many years in Tampa they have a shot at a deep playoff run and he wants out now. Is it seriously all for the Olympic snub that turned out not to be a snub?

'7' Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Rags are better short term. Long term this will hurt. they're going for it this year, and are formidable coming out of the east.

devils102 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm OK with Callahan leaving the Rangers if this is true. He's their captain after all. It could backfire on the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 With Zucarello and St Louis maybe the Rangers are looking to put together the NHL's shortest line? Perhaps we could interest them in Whitney or S. Gionta? Or they might make a move for Gerbe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I don't think they can beat anybody in the west in a long series I really doubt it. You can count on St. Louis having at least 3 to 4 more years of very productive play. And it's basically a certainty that he'll re-up with the Rangers after next year. Rags are a fairly deep team, so they don't really need the picks. Tampa got robbed.

Triumph Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Long-term this doesn't hurt the Rangers one bit. They have the players to go for the Stanley Cup and now's the time. St. Louis could play another 4 years too and all on discount contracts a la Selanne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Rag fans and their Captain Cally BS can go take a hike now. Good player, but way overrated because of the team he plays on and the market he plays in. If St. Louis doesn't deliver for the Rangers that fan base will turn on him FAST.

Devil Dan 56 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Looks like the media has made their decision on St Louis.... Strong words Ken Campbell @THNKenCampbell 2m Martin St-Louis, who has been a 38-year-old baby since the Olympic announcement, gets his wish by being traded to NYR. Legend tarnished.

An older player has about as much chance as being productive as they are hitting the age wall at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
