Quebec-based RDS waiting for confirmation that Clowe is about to become a NYRanger, per @RenLavoieRDS.

IF all goes as expected, Clowe likely to be NYR. Expected price to be 2nd round pick, 3rd-round pick and conditional 2nd if he re-signs.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Not as good as I thought it would be. Only way I feel better is if Nieto gets a call up.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Rangers don't have a 1st this year so it better be a good young player or prospect coming back.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Nieto won't get a call up this season. The ELC he signed doesn't start until next year. He's currently in Worcester on an ATO.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Looks like picks only.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Money hungry fuck screwed us on the return. Fuck you Clowe.

@PollakOnSharks 1m

Inability for teams to work out trade-and-sign w/Clowe turns him into a rental -- and the return #SJSharks can get drops at that point.

 

[rares]

I'll be pretty pissed if he goes to Vancouver (don't really want to play against him, even as shitty as he has been)...

If the NYR/PHI trades don't work out, just keep him and play him for the rest of the season but don't just trade him to get *something* for him.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

This makes me feel better:
@RealKyper 29s

Clowe becomes #Rangers rental as of now but assumption is a new deal will eventually get done and #Sharks will get add'l pick

 

[rares]

Well, I don't blame him for trying to cash in on a contract ASAP... it's his only chance to cash in/sign a long-ish term contract, really.

If I were him, I'd look to do the same exact thing. /shrug

‏@RenLavoieRDS

Mikka Kiprusoff is ready to accept a trade to Toronto if he gets a contract extension, see + of money next season

If he would have, you know, SCORED AT LEAST 1 FUCKING GOAL, he wouldn't be in this spot. He picked a bad (contract) year to go dry.

 

[rares]

Not sure what Toronto is doing with getting Kipper... or, rather, how he's an upgrade over what they have.

Someone posted the goalie stats over the past few years and Kipper's numbers weren't all that great.

Yeah, agreed definitely.

He should have signed an extension during last off-season if one was offered to him. I can't see him making more money now.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun 33s

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

 

[CJdublé]

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.

 

[MrChangoT97]

That offer for Clowe just is not a WOW FACTOR from the NYR

 

[Cmon_WTF]

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.

NYR's 2nd you mean? FLA's 3rd is almost as good as another 2nd.

 

[rares]

Yeah, that looks weird. Did the Sharks trade them a 2nd before and they're getting it back now or something? /shrug
