Rangers are looking to move Staal because of his NMC. We expect him to rebound incl because part of the problem is how used by AV, and after last yr AV will be told to get a grip or get a seat.
he is 5.75 and we can afford to eat, but ya gotta make it worth our while if we eat multiyear $
Talent return otherwise is not as big a deal as moving the contract NMC, though we would like something for him.
I don't see matching parts for deal w/Dallas; not expecting Stars to offer small pick with conditional adds based on how good Staal is.
but my 2 cents here is just a rough sketch of a 3 way thought:
Hamilton to Stars
Staal to Flames
Dallas big something to Flames
Dallas moderate something to Rangers
Flames minimal something to Rangers
just a thought
obv would depend on filling in the blanks
