The ultimate "try hard" for the ultimate "never try period". No thanks.

Jan Levine: Boomer Esiason Sets Twitter Afire with Rangers Rumor
Will it be Callahan or Girardi to go?
- airjan23

This has to end. Nothing to do with you Jan, blog was very good. But none of the names mentioned other than Bobby Ryan thrill me. Plus no way in hell they would trade him for an unsigned Callahan. It just has to end, it's time.

Yes, but they have more depth on D then anyone realizes

Chara
Krug
Boychuck
Hamilton
Mcquaid
Bartkowski
There's a solid top 6 w/o Seidenberg

Balance. They really have become a model franchise. We know about that. Torrey Krug killed us

so both to the same team? Jets for Kane and Buff.
Nevermind missed the eastern team part

Well put!!

I do think Sather is doing this to get him to take $5 million instead of $6. Or something like that

That woud officially end the honeymoon in Winnipeg. No way either one signs there.

Yeah, they are a defense first team as well, balance at all positions.

martin st louis really makes no sense, at all

he is carrying the offensive load while stamkos is out, he is their captain, he is under contract beyond this year, he will be mentoring drouin

yzerman is not a dumb GM either, especially with trades

shipping out his current best forward for a rental with high demands is mind numbing to comprehend

this would make sense if Tampa was out of the playoff picture, but they are very much in the forefront, without stamkos

Take it or leave it offer will be tabled. Maybe the Rangers even inch it closer to what. Callahan wants. I think how badly Callahan wants to stay will be answered.

You're back. Welcome.

You've been missed, especially after saying Zuccarello wouldn't pan as a productive NHL player.

- Blueshirts4ever

I think they move Kane this summer if they don't make the playoffs, they have been playing well without him under Maurice, they can balance their team if they do move him. Kane always seems to be either hurt and out of the line up more than he is in it. Not really adding to their push

Yes, but they have more depth on D then anyone realizes

True. Plus, where does that put the rags D depth if Giardi is moved? No, G is too important to the future and present success of this team.

I think both resign, if not soon, in the summer, also depends on how far they go, and how they play in playoffs.

What about Vanek?

You know what? I don't know the prospects they have, but I looked at them, minus Girardi & I was at a loss finding anyone to replace his minutes.
Not sure what Sather is thinking, but I don't see either leaving

What about Vanek?
- sbroads24

He said respect for the player. But that would be awesome snow. Trade away vanek for cally, vanek resigns in rangers, cally walks

Rangers and Islanders will never make a trade for NHL players. The first one they ever had was this

http://rangers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=530129

not sure if this was posted yet or not

It is not Clarkson or Chris Neil
It is not Brad Marchand
It is not Wayne Simmonds
It is not Vanek or Gaborik
He thinks the deal would be made sooner rather than later
9:47AM:

It is not Moulson or Evander Kane
It is not Artem Anisimov and a first round pick
It is not PK Subban
Is it not Iginla
Callahan is not going to Toronto or Boston
10:18AM:

It is not Martin Erat
This was something that no-one saw coming
The player coming back to the Rangers played in Sochi
It is not the Penguins
It is not the Caps, Sens or Devils
The player coming back is not signed long term
It is not Blake Wheeler
He laughs at the idea of Kadri
He doubts that this is a strategy to scare Cally into taking the Rangers offer

Snow is at such a disadvantage, no one wants to play for them, his hands are always tied.

Vanek is going to Minny.

Isles are going to defer their 1st round pick which is now ending up top 5. So they have to get better next year, over pay and get Callahan to stay. Rangers get a good goal scoring rental

He said they will look like buyers and sellers. A UFA for a UFA sort of makes it that way
