Ranger fans are really heating up to a Staal Skinner deal and debating it. Would this be a 1 for 1? Sometimes I think we need a tad more but 1 for 1 might work as well.

To be honest, I have no idea. When I posted my blog suggesting this awhile back I got about an even split of people who told me me it made sense, who told me the Rangers would never do it and who told me the Canes would never do it. I would interpret that to mean that it is reasonably fair deal for each side.
My hunch is that whatever else had to be added either way would be small. If Richards really is headed toward being bought out that would free some long-term salary cap for the Rangers and also would seem to create an opening for another top end offense type of player.
