It's on the account of all the screech they drink over there on and huff gas out of a ziplock baggy.

With Callahans long string of absences this season, I think it's become evident that he's not a big enough difference maker in the win/loss column for the Rangers. At least not as much as everyone thought. He's a nice contributor and good leader on the ice, but is not vital to the overall success of the Rangers as a team.

Nice player to have but if he's asking for anything over $4.5 million per year, I think it's reasonable to consider moving him at that point. His career stats do not indicate that he's the type of player that would warrant anything above that.

Yes like Brown, he's a solid third line guy

Brown is a player capable of playing in the top 6 and has the leadership and intangibles to lead his team to a cup.

Yes, but they all play similar balls to the walls style and lead by example. Very similar molds in terms of players.

Maybe the Rangers want an expoy-type guy instead of just glue...

I guess, I would say Brown is more comparable than Parise.

Yeah it was Brown and not Kopitar, Richards, Carter, Doughty, Quick that was the reason for LA winning the cup.

one thing I havnt seen anyone talk about is why Callahan wouldn't take a hometown discount for a club that gave him an opportunity to play and eat up minutes, now obviously im talking about years ago when he first came up but a lot of teams lose patience with guys like that. and especially in NY where its a win now mentality. would like to see Callahan lower his expectations a little bit. I think 4.5-5 is the max hes worth. like everyone else said has a great heart, definitely a clubhouse kinda guy and has ability to rally a team. would like to see him stay but at that asking price they could get another scoring center, what brad Richards was suppose to be.

Agree, the man has been injured this year, a UFA, and is on pace for like 44 pts.

1st and a B level prospect is fair
