NEW YORK RANGERS

GOAL HEADING INTO DEADLINE:  Sign or trade Ryan Callahan and get something back for him.

WHAT THEY DID:

  • Traded Callahan, a first and a conditional second round pick to Tampa Bay for Martin St. Louis
  • Acquired Raphael Diaz from Vancouver for a 5th round pick

WIN/LOSE/DRAW?:  While many people are lauding the Rangers for adding St. Louis, they have drastically altered their entire team culture in one fell swoop by trading their heart and soul.   Straight up, the St. Louis for Callahan deal might be a wash, but throw in potentially 2 first round picks and they simply gave up too much for a 39 year old winger.  LOSE
