    I really think that's the plan. That would be awesome.

    He may be a slightly better Goose in the hockey skills department, but he's head and shoulders above him in the leading by example/intensity department. Ott is the definition of a high-motor guy. He was made for Ted Nolan, and apparently Murray feels the same way.

      i would love to get ott back after trading for a late first or a prospect. that would be a really nice turn of events.

        If the Rangers don't sign Cally, Buffalo is going to offer him $7m a year if he hits free agency.

          Would be a smart signing for them.

            No team looking to compete could afford to sign a guy with Cally's talent level to a contract for $7 mill a year, He has cracked the 50 point mark once in his 8 year career.

            He's 28 years old and his style of play is going to shorten his career..He has had shoulder problems the last few years, Those hits take it's toll on his small frame.

            He's a lot of fun to watch and is a real heart and soul player.

            But he lost his mind thinking a 45 point a year guy is worth $7 mill a year, But kudos to him if it happens.

              Agreed but the Sabres are in a position to overpay. Not just that... heart and soul vets like him and Ott are the kind of guys you want around during a "rebuild".

                Yes..They can, The Islander and Panthers will also throw their hat into the ring for Cally..Problem is, He want's $7 mill per for 7 years, That could tie a team up down the line big time.

                If Cally goes, The Rangers will offer Ott a contract in the offseason, And Ott will be Millions of dollars cheaper and play the wing on the 3rd line.

                The rumors around the Rangers this year are pretty crazy, This team could change dramatically on March 5th.Here is a few of the rumblings that the talking heads are blabbing about.

                I'll only post the major players since you never know what picks or prospects could be part of the package.

                Ryan Callahan and Marty St Louis (TBL) or Chris Stewart (STL).

                Dan Girardi and Sami Vatanen (ANA)

                Derek Stepan and Ryan Kesler (VAN)

                Should be a interesting week in the NHL, There is a lot of big time players that could be on the move through out the league.

                  Exactly. Mike Peca types.

                  With Nolan getting extended, and hearing Murray heap praise on Ott, Callahan seems like their type of guy.

                      Yeah... should be an interesting week to be sure.

                      and totally agree the Rangers are headed for an overhaul... not a rebuild.

                          Nothing????

                          1st round pick in the deep 2015 draft
                          Another pick that ranges from a 3rd in 2016 (min) to a 1st in 2014(max)
                          A prospect in Carrier
                          Halak, who could finish the year here or could be moved for more assests
                          Stewart who could play here this year and next year or could be moved for more assets.

                          That is hardly nothing

                            i am surprisingly sad today when i think about this team without miller. hes probably my favorite sabre of all time, which really is saying something, but i figured its just sports and id get over it quick bc i dont idolize sports celebs like most ppl. but every time i realize hes gone i get a little sad and regretful and wish he was still here. so im acting a little bit like a teenage girl, sue me

                              If you trade your best players you should get the same or better in return.

                              Draft Picks....Most do not pan out.
                              Stewart...No one has wanted him for 2 years why would they now.
                              Halak...second stringer at best only has looked good because of the D in front of him.
                              That is why I say we got nothing !

                                WOW!!!, It's refreshing to see someone who realizes that.

                                Stamkos was drafted 1st overall in 2008, No other 1st rounder drafted that year, Has 60 goals in their career.
