Proposal: Nyr-njd

[bfaust30]

Marc Staal --> 2017 3rd rounder + 5th rounder. Rangers need picks and Devils need better defense with Larsson now gone. Staal is a top 4 just with a bad contract. New Jersey has the space and helps both teams.

Seems pretty crap for NJ.

Seems pretty crap for NJ.

How? Have you seen NJD's defense. Top 2 is eh and then Lovejoy as a top 4.. And bottom 6 is awful. This is a boost even though it may not seem at first.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

NJ isn't doing this. Let's stop trying to unload our crap on teams that don't need it. They have Greene, Merrill, and J. Moore as LD.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

How much are you retaining

 

[Eric Sachs]

sure

retain close to half and get it in writing that he will waive his NMC for the expansion draft

 

[Irishguy42]

Trading Staal to a division rival?

This starts with 50% retention and then NJ would probably entertain discussing another add.

Isn't the bottom 6, you know, the entire 6?

No thank you to the proposal.

 

[Skobel24]

Devils pass. They need a high end guy, not a #4/5. Won't even bother mentioning the contract.

Bad defense? Marc Staal is the answer!

 

[Billdo]

This is so silly on multiple levels let alone the one where NJ never trades with the Rangers. They give up way too much for Staal anyway.

 

[vipernsx]

Marc Staal is still a top4 blueliner.

 

[RememberTheName]

I wouldn't even do this if the third round pick was taken out, half was retained on Staal, and it was a guarantee that he would terminate his NMC for the expansion

Okay that is a tad bit overboard...

His game isn't where it used to be but at 2.85 million for next 4 years for a good veteran #3-5 is pretty good for a 5th rounder (also assuming in this situation that he waves his NMC)

 

[Hally BlackWood]

No interest at all in him.

we dont need a 3-5 dman we Need a top pairing dman.

 

[bossram]

Staal is a 3rd pair defenseman at this point. Even with retention, his deal is far too long for anyone to reasonably want to acquire. Rangers will have to pay to remove him.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Either NYR has to add a massive pork chop around Marc Staals neck (high pick or prospect) or retain 50% for NJD even to consider doing this to help a division rival unload a bad contract.

Its not impossible but NYR will have to pony up to move any of Girardi or Staal, and pretty dearly

 

[Group Chat Legend*]

You want a rival to help wih the cap? Sure, give us one of your best prospects

 

[Mikos87]

It's actually a good fit for both teams. I'd take a Hrabarenka tossed in a deal.

Staal paired with a guy that can beat a forecheck is a top 4 guy.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I believe Shero will follow Lou's trend of never trading with the Rangers. Santini will make the team and I trust that Shero will make a trade. We can afford to dangle our first for starters with having two second rounders in this coming year's draft that looks weak other than the 1to 5 top players.

 

[Smitty426]

Marc Staal is still a top4 blueliner.

Then keep him!
