2014 NHL Trade Rumors/Trades/Signing Thread

Callahan + 1st round pick + 2nd round pick for MSL

[Idoit40fans]

1st round pick in 2015. oh my god so worth it.

[Froggy]

Anyone else think TB is actually the winner here an NY got a bit easier to play against?

no, NY has a bigger need for top end skill than they do a gritty intangibles type player. St. Louis is still a top 10 forward in the league.

What the what

Rob Rossi @RobRossi_Trib
This is point in day where I'm convinced everything I hear is a lie, but.. Sounds like Hemsky getting a long look from #pens

Maybe their lying to you that they're lying.

The Rangers could have added a F from another trade and flipped Callahan for a #1 (to someone else).
I think they lost the trade.

[Idoit40fans]

When that Richards/St Louis pair dies of old age next year, the Rags are going to be a lottery pick and the Lightning are going to get McDavid.

Brian Metzer @Brian_Metzer
I can't believe that Yzerman could only get Callahan, a 1st and a 2nd for a 38 year old rental! #SayWHAT #SlatsStrikesAgain

[tfrizz]

If Callahan signs with TBL, the Rangers get a pick in return.

[Idoit40fans]

Assuming that Metzer was being sarcastic, at least try to be accurate...why specify rental? You're better than that.

[Idoit40fans]

The Lightning improved skill and grit today, and got some assets for the future.

[count2infinity]

I think TB definitely won in that trade, but who knows how those picks are going to work out. The fact of the matter is that if you've got a star that wants out, you have to get what you can get for him. Steve Y. did a good job here.

[Idoit40fans]

Yzerman fleeced them. Watch callahan sign for like a $4.5 million dollar hit.

Drouin - Stamkos - Callahan

More details: the 2nd-rounder in 2014 to Tampa becomes a 1st if NYR gets to conf final; if Callahan re-signs in TB (con'td)
then NYR get TB 2nd in 2015 and TB gets Rangers 7th in 2015

[Pitts]

Rangers and Flyers never cease to entertain with their lunacy when it comes to big names.

[bhaw]

I get that NYR get a good player, but that's a hefty price for St Louis. Yzerman absolutely won that deal, IMO.

So nothing about a 2015 1st rounder?

[pittsports87]

Stamkos' numbers are about to plummet without St. Louis making him better, stupid trade for the Lightning.

That pick is non conditional, it looks like

[Loaf31]

TB won that trade hands down

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

This sounds like a completely awful trade for the Rangers

[columbia]

"pouting baby" lol

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Continuing to hear Ottawa and Pittsburgh in the mix for Hemsky. #Tradecentre

[Idoit40fans]

The one part of the trade the Rangers won was whatever they in exchange for that 2nd becoming a first if they make the conference finals.

[KG]

TB won that trade hands down

Long term...most likely. As of this year, they made their team worse IMO.
