Clowe to NYR, maybe.

[bustaheims]

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Ryane Clowe has told the Sharks he's waiving his NTC to go to the New York Rangers. Sharks need to complete deal now

 

[caver]

Rangers haven't been the same since Prust left. Clowe seems like a guy they want to get that edge back.

 

[Nik]

Sportsnet just reported it as a done deal but no word on compensation the other way.

 

[bustaheims]

TSNBobMcKenzie: SJS needs actual Clowe signature on NTC, getting it momentarily, and trade call still to be completed but all expected to be formalities.

 

[bustaheims]

TSNBobMcKenzie: As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, it's SJ's 2nd, FLA's 3rd and conditional 2nd (on re-signing or winning two playoff series). If not, it becomes 5th.

I think there may be a typo in there - not sure how/when/if the Rags got SJ's 2nd at some point in order to send it back in a trade.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I swear GMs are just picking draft picks are random in these negotiations.

 

[bustaheims]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Apologies to @Real_ESPNLeBrun, 2nd rder going from NYR to SJ is of course NYR's, not SJ's as I incorrectly typed. You know what I mean. Doh.

If there's one thing the 30th ranked team in goals per game needs, it's a guy with no goals.

 

[Kessel Run]

It wouldn't be a rental trade without a 2nd rounder going the other way.

Canucks missed out on Clowe, so will have to look at players who can replace his offense. Be ready, because that could be you.

And of course he scores in his first game with the Rangers.

And second.

 

[Sucker Punch]

As did Moore and Brassard.

 

[Jalili]

Here's something I'm sure a few here will enjoy.

There's chatter among Rangers fans that Brad Richards should, and will, be bought out after the 2013-2014 season.

I chuckled when I read it.

 

[Kessel Run]

As did Moore and Brassard.

Still wondering how those two got there so fast.

Columbus to New York probably only takes 2-3 hours by plane.

I don't think it's even that long.
