[Trade] Eric Staal (50% retained) to the Rangers for 2016 2nd, 2017 2nd, prospect

[sureLoss]

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
All indications point toward Eric Staal going to the New York Rangers. Approvals required, but seems likely.

NYR/CAR closing in on Eric Staal deal

update 1:

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Pending trade call, Eric Staal is going to NYR.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Not official by any means, but I believe CAR will receive two 2nd-round picks and quite possibly Finnish prospect Aleksi Saarela. #TSN


update 2:

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Staal to NYR for two 2nd round picks and prospect Saarela.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
It's also my understanding, though not official by any means, CAR is expected to retain as much as 50 per cent of Staal's expiring contract.

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah, that sounds like the Rangers alright.

[dammage79]

Good move, If they're not giving up a 1st to get him, they have some really nice players to send back the other way.

[Poe969]

so he goes from playing with one brother to the other...How do the rangers do this? I hope they give up a first rounder and top prospects for him. It'd be funny if he signed back in CAR in the off season though.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Assuming Staal to NYR gets done - and it's not done yet - I'd expect CAR to get couple of picks (2nd rounders?) and a prospect. Stay tuned.

[spuzzum]

Has an amazing resume, but he is having an atrocious season by his standards and salary. Package from the NYR might not be so big considering his cap hit.

[Gundo]

Doesn't it seem anticlimactic when NYR make a big trade? Seems like they do it every year.

[calgaryblood]

Will still get to play with his brother.

[calgaryblood]

I think we will be shocked at the return for Staal.

Carolina signs Jared Staal from the South Carolina Stingrays to a 1 year 550,000$. 2 way deal. Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and Jared Staal to NYR for Brady Skjei, 1sts and 2nds in the 2016 NHL draft.

[flames_fan_down_under]

^^Wow is that for real?

[Fire of the Phoenix]

^Holy crap that's huge. How do they have the cap space for that?

Very Iginla-esque with his nmc. Only one team to trade to. My guess is 2 seconds and a poor prospect

[Poe969]

no way that's real.

[Da_Chief]

Pretty sure it's fake.

Rangers don't have their 1st in the 2016 draft.

I call BS

[browna]

Too many C's in NYR, which means they have to do Hayes for Russell + right? Right?

Actually, with NYR in cap issues likely getting worse after this Staal family triangle, think they have to dump UFA Yandle no? So Hayes+Yandle for Russell.

Kevin Allen @ByKevinAllen
Eric Staal is now out of Carolina's lineup, meaning the deal to the Rangers will happen.
