honestly not bad but i suspect ottawa will want foote with that deal but otherwise preety good.

Just want to make sure I am adding this up right:

The Rangers would receive:
Callahan
Raddysh
Volkov
2nd (Ottawa)

and give up:
2nd (Tampa's)
3rd
Ryan Spooner

Raddysh and Volkov are 2nd round talents until they prove otherwise. Your also giving the Rangers more of what they already have (possible middle 6 wingers). In theory, the Rangers could draft these two players with Tampa's 2nd rounder and their own 3rd...so there's very little incentive here. You'd have to change the prospect(s), or lower the asking price.

Ryan Spooner is going to have a larger role with the Rangers than he did with Boston (evident from last season). If he isn't moved before the end of the off season, he will easily fetch a 2nd at the deadline this year on his own, so no need to spend a 3rd on top of this to get the 2nd from Ottawa.

So when you do the math, the Rangers could in theory get what they would receive in this deal on their own....so where is the Rangers incentive to take Callahan?

PS...I don't think that's enough to get EK either, and Ottawa would be dumb imo to ruin their bargaining power by including Ryan in the deal (Tampa couldn't afford it anyway).

I agree... Ottawa would want Foote but I just dont see TB giving up Sergachev, Hajek, AND Foote over a 4 month span. That is pretty much all of their top notch Dmen prospects.

I think they end up overpaying with more picks and O prospects in order to keep 1 of Foote or Sergachev

Good point, I guess it comes down to how desperate they are to win it all!
