matts zuccarello is the new ryan callahan.

The Clarkson deal was in that rare Wade Redden tier where I burst out laughing the instant it was announced.

don't the oil still want clarkson?



please?
- Barx

The real question is: Does Clarkson want the Oil?

Unless he gets injured before the end of the season.. good thing he isn't made of glass.. oh wait...

I just tried to squish your avatar.

He doesn't have a goal yet!

90% of them are ridiculous.....but really, it's just money, who cares?
I alway find it funny when people get all bent out of shape when someone is overpaid, as if it is coming out of their great grandmothers sock under the mattress.

just gotta hope mactavish is still all worked up for him.....

Put it this way though, it's more justifiable to overpay massively for a guy you know will be able to play (at least for a couple years) in your top six or top four.

I don't get it, but the Rangers are more and more turning away from their spiritual leader.

.56PPG That is his scoring rate.

That said, I think EDM would be a good fit for him.

Eklund: Why on Earth Is Sather Trying to Move Ryan Callahan?
- Eklund

Both Ryan and Dan will be in buffalo next year!

How about 2?

AHLberts and Booth for a 7th.

for a 7th? (frank)ing rip off

197 forwards played 4000+ minutes at even-strength from 2007-2013. These, I would say, are regulars.

Ryan Callahan's points/60: 1.44. That's 163rd, behind Chris Kelly and Marcel Goc.

When you're shelling out that sort of money, generally you want an impact player. The way NHL GMs overpay for guys with high Sh% and not much else, you can find a Ryan Callahan -- decent top-six forward, penalty killer -- for about one third of the cost pretty easily.

And if you want something more predictive than points/goals/whatever, his on-ice shot attempts over that same span are a dead-even 50%.

He's not an impact player.

Edler for Callahan

You see there's this thing called the salary cap....

except callahan can't, at least not on an elite team.
so it's just as silly.

Give him a break (Clarkson), he hasn't arrived yet

that goes thru the roof next year.

Dont worry, we still have Ville Leino.

But we can eliminate his contract at the end of the season

Uhhhh, did you read Ek's article? Let me sum it up:

Glue, spiritual leader, heart and soul.
