Doubt you're going to get anybody to waive their NTC to come to Buffalo until we have showed we've turned a corner.
Actually he has one that kicks in on July 1st.

What kind of offers could we together for Marc Staal?
Probably would cost more that what we'd be willing to pay.
It'd have to start with #21 (which I'm more than willing to do)......but the add-ons from there would likely sting a bit too much.
Zadorov, Grigorenko, #21st, 2016 1st top 5 protected?
New York has a cap crunch coming, key RFAs to re-sign, and they have no 1st rounders in 4 consecutive drafts

I think people have been plugging "futures" in to lineups for too long.
I don't necessarily disagree. And I also agree that since we have such a deep pool of prospects, it's OK to overpay slightly for something we need.
If I'm giving up that much though.....I want someone a touch younger than Staal. Someone who might not be on a slight decline once we're really ready to contend.

Didn't they just re-sign him a couple months ago?
Why are we rushing things?
Staal isn't worth this type of package.
He's a good D-man ... not that good tho.
Ranger fans would jump on that package so fast. They'd take it and run.
I don't see his game as the type that falls off in the early 30s

There's not one painful piece in there IMO
IMO, that 2016 1st rounder is.
Maybe if it's top 10 protected I'd feel better.
But if we finish where I think we're going to finish, we're in line for another top 10 prospect who might provide a real boost at a cheap price right when we're ready to contend.
There's the rub...
Staal WILL provide a real boost to MAKING us a contender
If he was what he was in like 08-09, the Rangers are a much better team given McDonagh's emergence.What?
