Updated: Agent, Callahan address situation with Rangers

Ryan Callahan's agent, Steve Bartlett, spoke with ESPNNY.com Wednesday morning.

“I haven’t talked to them since before the Olympics,” Bartlett said. “There’s really been no dialogue since I left. Either we talk this week or it’ll be pretty clear what direction they’ve decided to take.”

He does plan to talk to the Rangers in the next few days.

“I continue to stay upbeat and positive. Our first choice is to make a deal with the Rangers, but if it goes in the other direction, I’m not going to throw up the white flag,” Bartlett said. “I’m not saying I’m inflexible ... my job is to help [Callahan] decide what fair market value is and help him make the best decision.”
