Gee... anytime a powerhouse team is cap strapped, a contract that want to get rid of mysteriously turns into an incurable disease that prevents them from playing... even though they werent injured at the end of the season.

And diseases such as Cally's are not to be taken lightly. This is a player who goes out for his team night in and night out. I really hope he can find a way out of this severe problem before the season starts

Guy left it all out there and was a good player for us. He's got the rest of his life to think about it with financial resources that most of us would dream about. Not to many down years on the teams he's played for either and an original 6 Captain.

 

he has nothing to hold his head down about.

Hardly a false story. Facts are facts.

 

 

Callahan may be at end of career with Lightning because of back injury

34-year-old forward has disk disease, will be placed on long-term injured reserve

Provided much of what the NYR are sorely lacking; heart, moxie, toughness, 100% effort on each shift. Multi-dimensional player who wasn't a super star but a valuable asset. Good luck with your health issues.

Just because you bold your statements doesnt make them fact. I'd love to see that the NTC was the reason the Rangers didn't resign him. I highly doubt the asking amount was going to be accepted. Your incorrect revisionary is humorous. Dont state things you cant prove true

What are you talking about?

 

Sounds like you’re trolling

Degenerative disk disease is pretty subjective. Everyone over about 45 can be said to have it (I sure do). It's convenient in a way for Cally. He would have been bought out, gotten less than his contract, and probably not gotten a guaranteed contract, so he's ahead. Obviously though, a guy like Cally would not go along with something like this if he had any hockey left in him, although it would not surprise me if a year from now he tries to make a comeback.

Bolded to emphasize the heading. I won't dare to respond to your unpleasant statement about me. However, I will try to bring you up to date about the final reason he was traded. As I said, the NTC was the sticking point.

 

Ryan Callahan had to leave New York to find his home

By Larry Brooks November 17, 2014 | 11:45pm

 

Talks between his camp and the Rangers stalled and then grew publicly contentious. The Blueshirts were at five years for $30M. They granted permission to third-party GM’s interested in trading for him to talk to his agent. Nobody budged. Then, close to the witching hour, Callahan reduced his asking price to six years at $6M per. The Rangers hemmed, hawed and then agreed.

 

But, already well down the road in trade talks with the Lightning, general manager Glen Sather would not give Callahan the same no-trade he had given Dan Girardi a week earlier on the defenseman’s six-year, $33M extension.

 

“I wanted to stay. Honestly, I did,” Callahan said. “To be the team captain, to have grown up here, I had so much pride in being a Ranger.

Honestly taking Brooks as completely factual all the time is beyond laughable
