He's missed 1 game in 3 years. While scoring 22 goals or more in each if those 3 years. Need the center depth.

The others here might play your game, I wont. Let me know when you want to talk hockey again.

But Tom doesn't want Staal. He is slow and on the decline. Tom wants RNH and 8 ++ even if it means taking back Lucic because he wants them to stand pat on Free Agency and "tank" again next year.

I don't think that is going to happen since the NYR won the lottery this year and are primed to take an NHL ready player. They also appear to be heading towards being competitive nowish instead of being bad enough next year for a lottery pick in what looks to be a super strong draft class, at least significantly better than this one.

Nope. Lucic is no go. If Eric Staal was given another chance he'd do well here. David Quinn would effectively communicate with him in order for Staal to succeed.

When the Rangers traded for Staal 3 years ago or whenever you HATED every second of it

No to Karlsson. Yes to Roman Polak. (Shattenkirk buyout, and Pionk trade conditional for Polak to sign.)
- tomburton99

There's no way you want 9 points in 77 games Roman Polak. And that Shattenkirk buyout, woof.

I'm declaring you as trolling or at least losing your mind.

That's how I know you're trolling.

They said that call wasn'r reviewable? If they can review an offside or goalie interference, why not a hand pass?
I'm sure that will be changed in the off season. Sharks stole one there.
- Fenrir

I don't see how reviewing a hand pass is any different than reviewing a high stick (which is reviewable).
I also don't understand how anyone can be against reviews just because it will take a couple minutes, if this is what you have to live with instead.

That call was embarrassing. And giving Meier an assist is exponentially more so.

Do the Rangers need center depth? Probably. Does Staal provide the depth at center, scoring ability and leadership? Yes. Idk this isn't a hockey conversation.

He scored two goals and the game winner. Nothing else matters.
- JRR1285

His defensive play led to OT.They could have won that game in regulation.

You must think I'm an idiot. Which is fine. But we don't agree on much, and we always agreed the Staal trade was horrendous. I know what you are doing. Let me know when your back to normal.

No I just think AV and E.Staal didn't communicate well with each other. Like Torts at the end of his run here. He lost the room. For whatever reason E.Staal and AV seemed like that when dealing with one another.

I just think it's a decent target to move up, #12. I obviously dont think they would trade up to 11 with the Flyers and I dont think anybody in this draft that has a top 10 pick wants to trade out of it

Fair enough. I am seriously considering trying to enter a coma that I come out of the day of the draft.
