Confirmed Trade: [DET/NYR] Marc Staal and 2021 2nd round pick for future considerations

[twotonfrankie1]

It's rare trades are win/win but this is one of those.

 

[Vitto79]

So market value on a high 1 yr cap dump is set

Wings are gonna be so bad but in 1 yr a lot of contracts gone

 

[GAGLine]

Did you watch our defense last year? A literal warmed over ham sandwich would likely be an upgrade.

Unless Mama Cass was on the other team.

If things go the way the Rangers hope, the 2nd should be in the middle to later parts of the round. After adding 6 first round picks in the last 3 drafts, and having 2 in this upcoming draft, a 2nd is not a huge loss to gain capspace and roster flexibility.

Clear win for stevie Y

Thsts debstesblr....assuming the Rsngers draft Lafreniere...then Buch is liked a 3rd liner .

In looking at their cap situation they could trade buch for a 2nd instead of giving up a 2nd to unload Stasl unless they are planning something else.

Nope. Buch is worth more than a 2nd, and drafting Laf doesn't make him a 3rd liner. Laf is a LW and likely to start on the 3rd line himself. If and when he moves into the top 6, Kreider might slide over to RW, but Buch is our only top 6 RW right now. Kakko may get moved up, but he hasn't shown yet that he is ready for that. Buch may become expandable at some point, but that point is not now. If there's a deal that makes sense, that is too good to pass up, maybe he gets moved. Like if we get a 2c and then slide Strome to RW or something. But the Rangers shouldn't be looking to move a 25 year old player coming off his best year.

2nd round picks can be like gold Bruins got players like studnicka and carlo there. Absolute great trade for wings.

They're planning on having a RW on a team full of LW players...

Lafreniere is a LW. Buchnevich is an RW, and our only guaranteed top 6 option at the position.

I really don’t see a reason why any team should be unhappy or need a “winner/loser” set up.

trade was mutually beneficial

 

[boots legrand]

The Rangers will be the next Dynasty. Locked and loaded at every position.

What's a "dynasty" these days? I wouldn't get too carried away.The nhl ,as a whole, is rapidly becoming much more competetive

That poster disses anything the Rangers do.

Like you said this is essentially just two GMs helping each other out.

Not sure how you can say that when there's no way to know what the Rangers will do with the capspace and roster flexibility they gain by making this move.

If we gave them a 7th instead of a 2nd I guarantee you he’d say the same exact thing.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Thing that nobody is mentioning is that not only did the Wings get the second but they can Flip Staal at the TDL with as much retention as they possibly can. Although Staal may be quasi done having a healthy veteran body on a D Corp for a run is worth something.

Marleau was traded and then Bought out. Hence the overpayment of the first.

Don't think Staal returns much at the trade deadline. Maybe they can flip him for a 5th rounder with some retention. This is a good deal for both teams though.

2nd round picks are dangerous cause some good 1st round talents falls through and get scooped in the second round. Example rangers own Derek Stephan .

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Hall or Pietro to New York?

Yeah, Hall can play on the 4th line behind Panarin, Kreider, Lafreniere and Pietrangelo can play on the Right side behind Trouba, Fox, DeAngelo and Lundkvist when he gets here.

I’m kidding to an extent but LW and RD are two positions the Rangers don’t need to fill.

 

[Mr Positive]

This is turning out to be a great set up for bottom teams who can start spending. We could see some big movement of teams next season

 

[Sonofamitch]

Could probably retain 50% at the deadline and get another pick. Genius move by Stevie Y.

Yes, second round picks have value but that is a reasonable cost for unloading close to 6 million and giving the team a ton more options in a very important off season for them. They have accumulated a ton of draft picks over the last 3 years including 9 1st rounders(including 2 this year). This is a good trade for both teams.

And sometimes teams find dangerous players in the 7th round - like Zetterberg + Lundqvist.

So maybe Detroit should have settled for a 7th instead of 2nd!

Sometimes, the 5th overall pick has a better career than the 1st overall pick, so maybe the Rangers should swap picks with Ottawa!

You just can’t help yourself when it comes to the Rangers, can you? No matter what they do, it’s bad, lol...

Don't forget Hornqvist!

If they wind up keeping him. My guess is the deal was made with the understanding that Detroit buy Staal out and let Staal have a say in his next destination.

Not according to Yzerman’s presser...he plans on keeping him
