Rangers Would Have to Trade Callahan to Get Kessel

Kevin Paul Dupont at the Boston Globe reports that the Rangers are believed to be interested in trading for the Bruins' restricted free agent Phil Kessel...

"For the Rangers to get into the Kessel mix, they would have to offer a package such as Ryan Callahan, a first-round pick, and perhaps Chris Kreider, who was their first-round pick in June."

...for the Rangers to get in the Kessle mix, they'll need to somehow find a taker for Redden or Rozsival b/c they don't have the cap room to sign him.

...if they had the cap room, I would make the proposed trade. I know PR wise its not a smart trade because of Callahan's popularity with the fans, but the Rangers need a #1 center and with the way they're jerking around Dubinsky who knows if he'll be back next year.
