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

[TCNorthstars]

the sabres reuniting the Staal brothers just 10 years too late

So Eichel to Det and Staal to Buf?

 

[JT Kreider]

holy crap I'm scared to see what we had to entice them with

 

[The Great Weal]

Staal+2nd for future considerations. Good move for Detroit imo.

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

Except center is pretty weak.

Yeah, as long as we pretend LD and C depth aren’t a thing.

 

[Legion34]

Maybe to avoid buyout? Especially if he's just going to get paid to stay home anyway.

that would just be like 800 k for him. He could then pick a team and play for like a million. It makes no financial sense

he gets 3.2 base salary. He would get 2.1 of that and be a ufa who could pick his team.

They're supposed to wait until after the Cup before major moves. Now this is all everyone will be focused on tonight.

This website, thank god, isn’t actually much of a representation of the people who are going to be watching the game tonight. Relatively nobody gives a rip about some cap clearing trade, compared to game 5 of the stanley cup final.

That’s terrible for the Rangers, Staal’s deal ends after next season and they’re not in dire straits cap-wise.

EDIT: The post originally had Abdelkader in place of the conditional seventh. Still a bad trade for the Rangers.

Well they did give up a decent pick to get rid of him...

Stevie Y getting an experienced partner to mentor his young star D man. That’s a very smart move.

Who needs to be taught how to be nonchalant in their own end and become a black hole on offense? School's about to be in session!

Fair point. Then I guess I don't understand why he'd waive...?

Great move by NYR.. they are stacked in the youth/prospect department that IMO moving a 2nd in order to punt Staal is absolutely OK.

 

[Boxscore]

I thought Staal was going to be a Rag for life.

 

[JT Kreider]

f*** yeah

 

[TheNewEra]

That's it? Damn it Detroit

 

[Savant]

Thank you Staal. Thank you Yzerman.

What? Eric plays for Buffalo and Marc plays for Detroit.

I guess we should be asking what NYR is going to use the capspace for?

 

[Flyer lurker]

That is fantastic deal for Rangers get rid of garbage, and if you make playoffs the only cost is a 50+ pick in a weak 2021 draft.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Think this is a win/win for both teams

 

[doomscroll]

Still not anywhere close to pick 22 this year and Anderson...

Alex Pietrangelo?
