All three for Dan Girardi. Peter Chiarelli tried to acquire Girardi in 2009 when Boston was looking at trading Kessel.
Wonder if Ference could be put on LTIR? Either way, this is a fantastic idea. I'd like to see Glass going the other way to help even out the salaries, which would allow us to keep a guy like Korp on the team even with that high cap it.
Here's a roster I threw together.

Marc has liked playing with Eric. There was an article on them yesterday from Mike Ziesberger. McKenzie does not expect Eric to play for Carolina. Could Marc and Eric be a package deal? The Rangers would need to work with the agent. What type of contract is Eric looking at? Eric signs for a cheaper price if the team trades for his brother. The Rangers retain $1.2M so Marc becomes a $4.5M D. The Rangers pay $6M of $27.2M remaining on the contract. In actual dollars, the average is $4.24M over 5 years.
I like both of these posts. Realistic and usable trade ideas. Eric and Marc could absolutely follow eachother--that was probably part of the price "paid" with those two 2nd rounders--the ability to have Marc follow Eric.
I've been saying this for a while, RB.
Toronto and Ottawa both will have a lot of cap space this summer, though the latter does run on an internal budget. Neither are exactly close to Thunder Bay, but are closer than New York and Carolina.
Toronto is a rebuilding team. Marc Staal could be a good mentor for their young defensemen coming through the system. Eric can be a good mentor for their young forwards.
Trade Marc to Toronto for their 2nd rounder this year and a 3rd next year. The Rangers could also get a decent prospect if they retain salary. Eric signs with Toronto as a free agent to a 5 year retirement contract.
Solid point
