2014 NHL Trade Rumors/Trades/Signing Thread

[Kovy27]

I'd love him as a rental. Would not go long term deal with him though. Too scary for me.

Just a funny feeling that it is St. Louis.

I can't see Columbus and the Rangers trading again and Not sure what Vancouver is willing to give up.

Yeah, oh boy, Kovy, the Blues are so tough to play against right now...add Callahan in that top-9...oh boy...that's a lot of nasty...

Right now, I think it is a toss up between Anaheim and St. Louis to whom is the best in the West. St. Louis's goaltending scares me and if they get Ryan Miller, they become the favorites in either conference.

I'm a huge Jaro Halak fan and also like young Jake Allen...so I'm biased. I think Halak is a very good goalie, but honestly, he needs to face 35 shots per game, not 12...he's one of those goalies...so maybe he's not a great fit...he is desirable around the league though...I wonder if anyone wants to go swapsies with them...Miller, Ward, Anderson I'm not sure...that kind of deal has to really be sharp to work...I recall Elliott for Anderson and Aebischer for Theodore...not a lot of starter (or near starter) for starter swaps for obvious reasons...

I could see Buffalo trading Ryan Miller to STL for Brian Elliot and 1st Rounder. Buffalo then signs Elliot to a contract.

I'm holding on to Enroth hoping they just rebuild around him as their goalie.

It would be a savvy move by sather to cut ties with callahan. You just can't give him the money he's demanding - no matter what he means to the team.

Though the move would completely bewilder George McPhee. He probably thought it was a league policy that he had to sign laich to that contract.

Vanek now on the block, after turning down the Isle's contract offer.

Gotta think Min, LA will go after him...

[Trip McNeely]

So in the end, the Isles gave up Moulsen for 1/2 a year of an underperforming Vanek. Good management team there on the Island

It was Moulsen, #1 and a #2 for Vanek. Moulsen's contract is up as well so that side is a wash. Moulsen and the #2 for Vanek is okay for just the one year. The #2 represents the upgrade. The #1 hurts though.

[Idoit40fans]

Being on the trading block doesnt mean you give him up for nothing. They could very well end up getting more now than they gave to get him.

[npv708]

There's no reason for the Isles to Vanek at this point.

[MRandall25]

Can't tell if you tried to be punny or just forgot a word...


... or both.

[meow]

Definitely both.

[pcm]

Dreger says Callahan actually wants $7m per year, not $6m as had been reported.

[mikey287]

I also want $7 million per year...

[columbia]

Philly rents are high, but not that high.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Philly rents are high, but not that high.

If rents is short for parents then they are if they're in West Philly.

[Crankshaft]

, exactly.

I wonder if he just doesn't want to re-sign with the Rangers so he's forcing their hand without looking like such a bad guy.

[Kovy27]

Callahan wants 7 mill per year? What is he smoking?

[mikey287]

Eklund has taken your post and made it a rumor: Callahan to Colorado (e3).

[shoeshine boy]

give Callahan a break. NYC is an expensive place to live. he's just trying to get a a couple of his roommates out of the apartment.......

Hahaha.

I got him fooled once with the Afinogenov and Kotalik to PIT rumor. LOL

[slappybrown]

I don't think there's much doubt Callahan could get between 6.5-7 on the open market. 7 is hardly an outrageous ask on his part IMO given the market.

I wouldn't give it to him, but someone would.

Oh it will happen, if he's happy playing in Florida or Calgary.

[mikey287]

How about Buffalo...the prodigal son of American hockey coming home? They have an owner willing to spend, they have a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys on their team...Callahan is from Western NY, the Sabres still have a compliance buyout to use on Ville Leino, I could see it...

[pcm]

I could also see Edmonton dumping dollars on him, thiking he's the answer. Say they trade Eberle for a #1 dman, then sign Callahan to be their Patton, and pick up a veteran backup to go with Scrivens...maybe Vokoun?
