I mean, is that an overpayment Callahan? Eh... It seems like it's around the right number to me.
On the term, the Rangers were ready to commit to 6 years, so that doesn't seem to be their issue.

Think Stevie Y regrets taking Kunitz instead of Marty now?

holllyy shit megaton
He gets injured A LOT, and his play style will seriously wear him down. He's in his prime right now and still can't manage to come close to playing 82 game seasons.
If he wanted 6.25m for 4 or 5 years, I would do that contract in a heartbeat. But he wanted 7 years at nearly 7m, and his lowest offer that we heard of was 6 years at 6.3m with a no move clause. That would have been an albatross of a contract those last couple of years.
He is a heart and soul guy, and one of the best captains in the league. Losing him is going to be a serious emotional blow to the locker room.

Gotta say, it just hit me about Callahan leaving. Totally get it, and wanted it, but yeah Cally man. Cally.

Always thought St. Louis would be the first Bolt to have his number retired. I think it'll be a long time until that happens now. Especially if Yzerman is around for awhile.

God fucking dammit. I cant believe the Rangers got MSL. They are going to be such a scary team now.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
A lot of coaching decisions Paulrus has made this season, whether that be scratching and benching players who don't deserve it or playing players who are shitting the bed (Phillips and Cowen), they're just baffling.
I mean I don't understand how you can put Chris Phillips on the PP and actually expect your PP to be successful.
Maybe he's passive aggressively lashing out at Melnyk for being cheap

I wouldn't mind seeing Bernier stone wall St. Louis again
They might not even make the playoffs.
They still lost Callahan though. MSL is scarier though.

Hahaha, all about Marty. Fuck that guy, what an ass.
Yeah, I get the injury worry. I just wonder how much that is a result of playing in the Tortorella system for years.
Anyway, if the Sabres overpay for him in the offseason, I won't mind too much.

Welp Homer needs to make a move now. Flyers are 2 points away from being out of the playoffs and just a point ahead of the Rangers.
god dammit, MSL's playing tonight, isn't he
Trade happened too early, they should have waited until 2:55.
Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl 5mgod dammit, MSL's playing tonight, isn't he
Reports out there that NYR trying to get St. Louis to NYC for game tonight vs. Toronto. Why wouldn't he be able to get to NYC by tonight?
Yes.
Last I remember, Bobby didn't play for the Sens the last 2 years.
Joking aside, are you sure Condra and Greening didn't average relatively the same as last year given all the injuries? I'm honestly curious and don't know, so I won't make a judgement on that just yet.
That said, I do think MacLean's handling of the lineups in the previous seasons may have been dictated by the injuries that essentially forced his hand when establishing the lines. This year, the team has actually been pretty healthy and so MacLean has had more room to juggle players around. Don't get me wrong, if this is the case, it certainly does not reflect well on the coaching staff.
8 minutes until the Conacher deadline!
Not confirmed yet. Lots of speculation that they have.
And I don't think they'll flip him. He should get a good look here.

Can't. If they want to get rid of him they have to put him through waivers first, allowing other teams the option of picking him up for free.
If they wait until next season they can though.
So Pittsburgh is in on Kesler, Vanek, Kulemin, and Hemsky?
Come on.
If they claim him, why wouldn't they be able to trade him? Waivers are only for sending players up and down from the AHL. Not that I want them too.

Don 't need to. They can fill a roster spot and he's RFA once the season is up. Worse come, they can just not QO him and be done. Zero risk.

It's some rule with the CBA.
It's to prevent teams from picking up all of the waived players and holding them ransom for draft picks, basically.
It makes sense I suppose. Not that I really agree with it.
I believe the rule is just for the rest of whatever season you claim the player in or something like 3 months, so if you picked up a player in October you could trade him at the deadline and in this case Buffalo could trade him at the draft or something if they want.
I could definitely be wrong though.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
That's not crazy. If they get one, they'll stop going after another.

This literally happens every year, trade deadline, and offseason. Pens are apparently always in on every deal.
It's funny because they're always in on like 6 deals but wind up getting none of the six.
People thought that last year too.
Ah, okay. Well that does make some sense.

Bruins claimed Corey Potter off waivers from the Oilers.
I don't know who he is.
Conacher claimed by the Sabres

BRIAN BURKE INTERVIEW

Lol at the Burke interview.
"Are you close to anything yet?"
"No."
...silence.
Burke correcting the news anchor was hilarious. "No you aren't listening." :lol
Well Vinny had been on the decline for a while so that's not a big loss. MSL is one for sure but he's been replaced by Drouin + some other great drafting.

RIght so when he has a healthy roster he makes stupid lineup choices.
Condra and Greening in the top6 over Ryan.
Ryan's icetime getting scratched and moving him off key PP opportunities.
CHRIS PHILLIPS on the PP!!!!
Playing Anderson over Lehner when Anderson was sucking. Playing Anderson on back to back games.
Cowen constantly in the lineup and even on the top pairing when he was an absolute traiinwreck. Wiercioch in the box even though he hasn;t been anywhere near as bad.
I could go on.
At least some of these are choices made by the assistants so one or both should get the boot. We won't it won't be Melnyk's waterboy Cameron, better hope MacLean doesn't get fired or we're going to be wishing for the days of Dave "Sparky" Allison as coach.
