Breaking news, There is a possibilty now Ryan Kelser MIGHT be traded. E4

With the cap going up this will look like a steal in the back half of the deal.
- Muskwa

the Cap cant go up forever. Especially if the Canadian Dollar drops...

Massive overpayment. Rangers just throwing around cash like there isn't a salary cap. #firesather

how is it a massive overpayment? this is what steady, 24-minute veteran dmen go for on the open market. look what Phaneuf got.

I dont even think its that crazy of a contract, seems like fair value
- PinkSock

Depends on how he is playing those the last couple years. Cant make the judgment now.

Crazy contract. But that seems to be the norm these days. I think the final couple years they may not like this. Good on him. Stayed with his team rather than chase a bigger pay day.

Letang was an overpayment. This is a discount.

How to predict rumors like eklund...state something completley freaking obvious then end it in a question mark. Like this: Kesler on the trade block? Edler too?

Luongo too?

Lack starting in goal again tonight, rumour has it Luongo wants out?

wouldn't say discount. it's a fair deal for both sides.

Wouldn't girardi being extended imply Callahan is probably moved soon?

ITs not the 5.5 that is high. Its the years. But who knows he may still be a top 4 D in 6 years.

Compared to what he wouldve made in UFA with no other top-2 Dmen in the class? He's worth more than Dennis Wideman/James Wisniewski money.

have you just met scoobydoo?

Last three years he gets a partial no trade. We can guess which teams will be on that list later!

- HomestyleMelt

I don't think its an either/or situation. I just think the Rangers and Callahan are far apart on a deal.

Seriously though, great deal for the Rangers.

You could make the exact same sweeping generalization for ANY 6+ year deal. I think the Rangers got a good deal.

You sure most definitely can especially in older players. I hate 6+ yrs for any player older than 25. That's just me.

The dollars are about where a lot of people thought they should be though.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. One of the best defenders in the league.

Teams have to do that if they want to keep players as they would get it on the open market.

He doesn't score 20+ goals, so no
