And who takes Staal's spot? Del Zotto? Moore? Oh good lord.
Break that deal down Staal for Yakupov. We'd be getting fleeced.

Highly doubt it. Canes need another center, and the Oilers need a goalie. Ward grew up a few hours away from Edmonton. He had a boatload of family at the Oilers/Canes games in '06.
Meh. Pending UFA and he's ridiculously inconsistent. Hendricks is the kind of player the Oilers could use. A guy who actually gives a **** on the ice.

Dreger just said Oilers looking to make another trade for a goalie.
Edit: Quick trade Talbot for Edmonton's first this year! Lol

Scrivens is really only worth a 3rd? wtf?
I'm sure LAK could have gotten better value for Scrivens. Although the third will likely be #61-64 overall, still

Scrivens looked pretty bad on the Leafs, it's probably safe to say that LA's defence covered up some of his shortcomings that EDM wont be able to do. A 3rd is pretty good return for a guy who should really be a backup.
EDM gets a few months to decide if they want to re-sign him, and going by their track record with picks outside the 1st round they haven't given up much.
It's a 'meh' trade, but it's a pretty good 'meh' trade for both teams

I don't buy the Stastny love.
He'd be the perfect example of another solid player nearing 30 coming to NY and underperforming. To me he's only a slight upgrade to Stepan and he'll cost much more for a long long time. I could see him getting 7 years 6.5 million or something like that, NO THANKS. We don't need more money tied up in aging players.
I'd rather give Step another year, sign Brassard to a 1-2 year deal, and go after the best 2nd/3rd line center on the market. Stastny/Thornton aren't the answer guys, I have a feeling both of them would be Richards/Drury/Gomez 2.0

WAAAAAAA!!!
i thought Scrivens would get a 2nd but i guess with threw goalies in the bank, Lombardi was "desperate" to move one but I can't imagine MacT wasn't any less desperate to acquire one as well.
Stasny would be a Gomez/Drury redux.
He isn't a dominant no 1 center. Just a consistent player on the power play and a good playmaker, and smart player.
Athletically he isn't special, it's his hockey sense that makes him what he is, the legs and strength aren't there to be that prime top center.
The Rangers need a top center.

This team has been searching for an elite center since 2001. It plays out the same way ever couple seasons, we bring in a mediocre 1st line center or an old, over the hill quality first line centerman, pay him big bucks to under perform to managements expectations and the cycle repeats itself. For the New York Rangers current example, please see; Richards, Brad

Well as of now, the Oilers 3rd would be the 61st pick of the draft, that's pretty much 2nd round range.
Oilers are dumb. Dubnyk is having a bad year, but he's not a bad goalie. Save percentage last three years is 0.921, 0.914, 0.916. The first 13 games of the season he had a 0.876 SV%, since he's been at 0.906.
Hendricks....

Whenever I feel bad about the Rangers, I hum this to myself to try and remember that other franchises have bad management, too.

oh yeah...
our team is mostly homegrown..
come on now...
i feel bad edm.. having 1st overall like 4-5yrs in a row and they're still in that position that many years later is sad!!!
You feel bad? They've gotten multiple top 5 picks. They constantly tank. Yea they opened their wallets to retain their youth but that was just as asinine. They barely have the NHL experience and they got their payday. They didnt bring in the right pieces to mix in with the inexperienced young talent.
No I don't feel bad for them. I laugh.

Would trading Brassard and Girardi for Mike Green and Martin Erat be of any interest?
Green is one of the best PPQB's in the NHL and would look good in AV's system, isn't elite in his own zone but could paired with McD or Staal form a really great #1 pairing.
Erat is still a good player, but have been terribly misused by the Caps, which is why he asked for a trade. He is a natural RW but can play both sides, is a really good playmaker, great skater and hustles hard every shift.
Both are signed through next year.
This trade would require that the Caps are allowed to negotiate an extension with Girardi pre-trade.
