He sucks.

He was okay last night, but he sucks. Easily our worst D

Dijock94 · Nov 13, 2018

He has been really strong in the corners and in front of the net. Unless you expected a different player under Quinn I think this Staal is the most you could’ve hoped for.

romba · Nov 13, 2018

Much improved with the puck at his feet as well this year. Best we could have expected. Yea, he’s no Ryan McD replacement but he’s effective out there.

"There is a vocal online contingent of fans who malign Staal, and they point to his possession stats as evidence. His Corsi-For percentage at five-on-five — meaning the percentage of shot attempts for his team that occur while he’s on the ice — is 44.44. As a team, the Rangers went into league play on Tuesday night ranked 29th in the league at 45.65."

I wonder to whom Brett might be referencing here????

Hopefully us. Hello Brett.

Playing solid hockey this season, like last season.

Paging @Go Away Staal ...

3, 2, 1...

GoAwayPanarin · Nov 28, 2018

He still sucks.

Hes been less sucky lately, but he's a zero in transitional hockey and a horrendous PK'er.

Buy him out this off season plz.

Yea let’s buy him out for cap space we don’t need. And future dead cap space later that we may need.

Look at our cap sheet, we’ll be fine.

Look at our team.

We don’t need to buy him out just so you can change ur name to “buyoutvesey”

Plus, the deadcap space will hamper the team for a number of years. When the team is ready to contend or at least take meaningful steps forward (hopefully), they would still be getting him by Girardi's & Stall's contracts.

We've got guys on LD who are pretty close.

He takes up a spot.

Theres no point in holding onto him.

McRanger · Nov 30, 2018

I think its possible someone would be willing to take on Staal for 2 years at 2.75m after this season is done with us eating the other half.

If Staal was a free agent I could see a team giving him a deal similar to what Girardi received (2 yrs, 3m per). This is of course assuming he is not a noticeable disaster the rest of the season or gets seriously injured.

That would be best case for the Rangers.

I think he’d waive to TO and 50 . Staal and McQuaid would be good fits in Toronto IMO

Lion Hound · Nov 30, 2018

I don't think he's been terrible. I don't think he's been all that great either. He's just on a really bad contract for the return.

Filthy Dangles · Nov 30, 2018

Mindblowing how this dude and Dan G got paid but they let Stralman go. That's low key such a franchise altering move. It f***ed us hard. The horse has been beaten to death but f***....

GoAwayPanarin · Nov 30, 2018

Stralman AND Yandle.

Granted both contracts were signed Pre-Yandle, but yeah.

will1066 · Nov 30, 2018

To borrow a phrase from Brooks, they were Bluebloods. Not that the huge contracts aren't wrong.

Plus people tend to forget that they were a legit top-pairing defensemen in the league.

No one is close enough to consider a buyout right now. Not even remotely.

I don't like Staal either... I don't think he's been good at all. That article was ridiculous. But doing anything with him right now when this team is where it is (other than trading him which I am ALL FOR) is just putting lipstick on a pig. I don't want to be paying for him when he's not here... UNLESS next season or via trade we get a stud D who needs a spot.

I was so pissed when we let Yandle go all because AV didn't know what to do with him.

Smack yourself in the f***ing face, go outside, stare at a birds nest, strip down, jump in an ice pond, get out and then slap yourself in the f***ing face again to the tune of the following sentence

You. Do not. Piss. A. Way. Needed. Cap Space. We need. Later!

I just did all of that.

They should still buy him out.
