The main reason he fleeced the Rangers on St.Louis was due to the conditions being met that maximized the value for Tampa. Had the Rangers lost to the Pens like it appeared they would the deal would have been St.Louis for Callahan (rental) +1st +2nd. Callahan signed in Tampa so they kicked back a 2nd to the Rangers and only because NY made the SCF did the 2nd become another 1st
