Icon60 Lightning re-sign Callahan (6 yrs, $5.8 mil AAV, partial NTC)

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Sportsnet has learned that Ryan Callahan is on the verge of signing a long-term extension with #TBLightning: ow.ly/ypXNN

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/l...-for-callahan/

Quote:
The 29-year-old was eligible to pursue unrestricted free agency on July 1, but a source indicated that a new deal with the Lightning is “imminent.” While the precise terms of the extension weren’t immediately available, it is believed to be in excess of five years and worth as much as $5.5-million per season.

IIRC thats only a 1 million dollar raise for Callahan. Good deal for him and the Lightning as they save a few bucks off of St.Louis old contract.

I wonder what that's worth as a New York contract because of the tax differences. $6 million?

Surprised he didn't wait for Jul 1, thought he was asking for 7 year 6.5M.

Makes the St. Louis trade look even better for the Lightning.

The Rangers would get the Lightning's 2015 2nd if Callahan re-signs with the Lightning.

Very interesting that this is going down now... teams can start talking to UFAs in less than 1 hour.

He was asking for it, but there's no way he was getting that. Someone must have finally shown him the light.

That's actually a pretty fair deal for him.

As you said earlier... he'll surely pocket more than that difference in tax savings.

Edit: Actually be about 2.5 million in tax savings over the life of the contract, not adjusted

Callahan 2 1sts for St. Louis + 2nd

Great deal for Tampa even if they overpaid on this contract

Who knows what he would have been offered? If he waited until tomorrow he could at least see how many teams were interested.

That contract would be worth ~6.1 million a year in New York state.

Yeah, but obviously he likes what he sees in Tampa.

I could see Cammy signing down in Tampa.

Callahan brings grit they need, Cammy could compliment Stamkos well.

They would have an absolutely lethal offensive team (Stamkos, the wonder kids and Cammi).

Callahan is basically a younger Chris Drury. Not worth the price.

Seems a little high, my math could be wrong but 5.98m is what I came up with.

Either way he must have liked Florida rather than going UFA.
