Senators' Ryan Callahan: Remains in quasi-retirement
Ryan Callahan remains on long-term injured reserve, with his contract set to end in July.Callahan's contract is on Ottawa's books simply to help the team reach the salary floor, and he'll likely announce his retirement on July 1, the day his deal ends. The fact that his Twitter handle still says he's "#24 for the Tampa Bay Lightning" despite being traded to Ottawa four months ago is a pretty obvious sign that he's never going to play in the NHL again.

Senators' Ryan Callahan: Traded to Ottawa
The Lightning traded Ryan Callahan (back) and a 2020 fifth-round pick to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Mike Condon and a 2020 sixth-round pick Tuesday.This is nothing more than a salary dump for Tampa Bay. Callahan's playing career has almost certainly come to an end due to a degenerative disc disease of his lumbar spine, so the Senators will simply place him on long-term injured reserve once the regular season gets underway. The veteran forward still has one year remaining on his contract, so he likely won't officially announce his retirement until it expires.

The veteran collected just 17 points over 52 games with the Lightning during 2018-19 and officially remains under contract through 2019-20.

Lightning's Ryan Callahan: Potential buyout candidate
Ryan Callahan played two of the Tampa Bay Lightning's first-round games against the Blue Jackets, finishing with four PIM and four shots in limited ice time.Callahan plays the kind of abrasive, physical game that a lot of people believe fits postseason hockey. But he was relegated to the media box a lot this season and flat-out told he was the team's 13th forward in the second half of the year. Changes are likely coming after the Bolts were swept out of the playoffs and Callahan is a likely target. The oft-injured winger has one year left on a deal that pays $5.8 million. The probability of a buyout is much more realistic than a trade.
