Speculation: NYR Roster Building Thread Part XXXVI (Tis the season of trades) ‎

[NewLife]

Now Brady can play so find a sucker to bribe us away from Staalsy

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The only non-Sather player on the roster is Viktor Stalberg. Gorton has had a very easy 6 months and has not made even a dent of a mark on this team.

No major changes are going to be made until the summer time.

I really wouldn't be opposed to a complete overhaul.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I'll be pretty disappointed if Stalberg isn't brought back next year. He's the perfect bottom six player and he's not expensive.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Let's hope JG thinks outside the box here and finds a way to dump useless money on someone else. We need more cost controlled players

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

If Gorton wants to go for it this year he should be actively trying to trade Boyle. He's been so horribly bad, especially with Staal and G coming around Boyle hasn't improved at all.

 

[nyr5186]

I doubt management has the balls to trade Boyle, but theres no doubt we could stand to do better than him as our #6 going into the playoffs.

This is my ideal deadline day trade: Dan Boyle, Oscar Lindberg and a conditional pick to Carolina for Eric Staal (partly retained) and Ron Hainsey. Our 3rd pairing improves defensively and Staal solidifies the forward depth for a playoff run. I like Oscar but he's nowhere near untouchable. You give him up for a guy like Staal even if hes a rental.

Staal-Stepan-Nash
Miller-Brassard-Zucc
Kreider-Hayes-Fast
Stalberg-Moore-Glass/Hrivik

McDonagh-Girardi
Yandle-Klein
Hainsey-Staal
McIlrath

King

So much depends on health ofcourse, but I would be very confident in that lineup making a deep playoff run.

Stalberg has been unbelievable in his role. Love the guy. I think he is even better than how Pouliot was for us. Faster and hits even harder.

 

[Vitto79]

Who would Boyle even waive too ?

 

[haohmaru]

Playoff Ladd is completely different from regular season Ladd.

He really isn't. Look at ATOI and get back to me.

 

[Irishguy42]

I would be perfectly fine giving Stalberg a cheap two year extension. Dude works well with our bottom-6. His acceleration when going in a straight line is amazing as of late. Dude can fly.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Staal, Fast and (Moore/Stalberg) to Carolina for Versteeg, Nash and (Wisniewski/Liles/Hainsey)

Not sexy, but Very fair deal for both teams.

As a Canes fan, doesn't look fair to me at all. Canes don't need a defenseman, particularly one whose play has degraded and is signed for 5 more years @ $5.7M. Moore/Stalberg are UFA's to be and the Canes are a long shot at making the playoffs, so they'd more than likely move on after the season ends.

I'd rather the Canes trade Versteeg and Liles at the deadline and get back some 2nd/3rd round picks than take a deal like this.

I would agree with you all if he was on our fourth line only. IMO he is a liability on the third.

He is good on the forecheck but has hands of stone. Hayes and Lindberg are infinitely smarter with the puck than Stalberg is. The guy is a poor mans Hagelin.

A retirement home in Boca raton

That's a great deal... if you're the 'Canes GM and want to get fired. No way does Carolina make a deal like that.

Thread is at its max. New one is up!
