I could live with this as our D: McD/Girardi Staal/Boyle Moore/Kostka or McIlrath This would be the case if we deal Klein for some O.
Googled Marc Staal contract, saw this article come up which is a good read. Was written just after the deadline this past March. Gives some good comparative contracts. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-should-sign-marc-staal-to-long-term-contract I do disagree where it says he should be next captain, I think that's going to be McDonagh. But that's a different conversation.
Once again says he wants it worked out prior to this season, so we should have some idea soon I would think. Not sure we go into the season with no deal done unless we feel like we are really close to a deal.
And I am fine with that. Whether it is Staal, because we don't want to re-sign him/he doesn't want to re-sign here OR Klein and a prospect/pick, a deal of D for O should happen soon.
Seeing Pasta lose his shit is worth it enough to get Staal resigned. Plus i like Marc and think he's a good D and haven't heard anything about him wanting to join his fam in Carolina, so lets get this done. Dont make this about a poster, a fellow Rangers fan, this is about the Rangers.
Granted the D looks better. Now just get Moe, Larry and/or Curly and the O is electric. LOL. Sather has 3 months to get who he wants. Who knows what he wants. That's why it is all conjecture on this board. BYW, 31..if we all thought alike, how boring your world would be. LOL
what is there to say positive about our D? there is isn't 1 that played consistently all year, NOT 1.... as far as the pairing for next season, i see girardi's name and i lose all interest. YUCK! stralman, all he was this year was last year #44, or 2 years ago, forget his name already cause he was not much of a dman either! if this years team had 1 dman that played to his potential all year, result mite have been different, lundy did his job, and goal scoring during PS ain't as easy as it is during reg season
lol, so that means the 28 other teams had 0 Dmen who played to their potential. So we should not want any of them
the armchair qb's are at it again, attackin the proven!! u heard it b4, and not from me, you don't win it all season is considered a failure, and it hurts even more when you get to finals & don't finish! you think ranger players are happy they just got to finals? go back to your stats, and convincin yourself u no wat u r talkin about and leave it to the ones who been there n done that!
for crying out loud, Pasta...go take a nap or something. debate him, dont tell him to leave the board
Steve eminger the savior..or was that raphie diaz? I would talk to Winnipeg and Carolina to see what kind of three way deal involving staal and kane....
Yes, the Jets are a team I would look at also Al. Kane or Ladd, I would love either. Maybe there is a package deal we can swing there. And of course because of the Staal connection take a look at the Canes also. Not sure I see a forward match with the Canes, but explore it at least...I agree.
I was a big proponent of trying to get Kane last year, but I've been hearing very bad things about him off the ice.
C is more of a need, but if we can add Kane, I would live with Step, Brass, and Miller or Lindberg at C. Kane can be special. Doubt we can get him though.
