Looks like Staal is on his way to NYR. Mckenzie reporting he's waived his NTC.

Staal could be going to the Rangers? They keep trying don't they?

Dreger: Staal to NYR for two 2nd round picks and prospect Saarela.

Seems like a pretty fair price. Good for both sides. Wonder how much salary had to be retained for that?

This is a great fucking game on NBC right now, btw. If you're not watching it, you all should.

That's the only way they could take on his contract.

Seems about right. Good deal for both sides, I think. Fills a big hole for the Rags. Eric Staal obviously isn't what he once was, but he's still a great 3C for the Rags, and maybe he'll even have a resurgence playing with his brother Marc and for a Stanley Cup contender.

This lets the Rags move Kevin Hayes to the third line RW, and can move Viktor Stahlberg down to the 4th line. They're so much better balanced now, especially when Rick Nash comes back. Great trade for them.

No player I like watching more than Duncan Keith. Dude is the best defenseman in the game.

What a great game. That was a lot of fun. Scary thing for the rest of the NHL, that forward group from Chicago will be adding Marian Hossa back and Dale Weise very shortly. Bowman has assembled a ridiculously scary group of forwards.

If we could find a way to still add Dan Hamhuis...wow.

TMoore4075 02-28-2016 01:01 PM

Well, with 21 games to go Caps would need to go 18-3 to beat the Wings record. Hey gotta take what I can.

Didn't watch the game, busy today. Just saw they lost. Meh. Glad to hear it was a fun game as I plan to probably still watch it later.

And Lockman, I want Hamhuis. Back off bro.

Agreed. I give a slight nod to detroit's, but that's not saying much. I DID like both of the jackets the coaches had.

Congrats to the Wings. The wrong team scored with a minute remaining, but it was a great experience to watch an NHL game outdoors with 50,000 people.

Yeah, sucked to see it end that way. But overall, a tremendously positive weekend all around. Great game, both teams played well. Was hoping to see more from Landy and Datsyuk almost scrapping. :lol

Agree about balance, and I hope this reenergizes Eric. But from the Rangers side, it just feels like more of the same. Another trade deadline, another big pickup, and another playoff exit. We'll see, I guess.

I mean, what's the alternative though? They really didn't have a choice. They can't be sellers, and their roster needed another center. Staying stagnant is just a waste. They have one of the best goaltenders in the history of the game that has given all he can to the franchise, you gotta try and win it now.

Staal can, if he finds his game, be a 1C, if not he's a great 3C. If they can keep using Yandle better, Rick Nash is supposed to be back soon-ish...they have as good a chance to knock off the Caps as anyone.

It was a good game. Two obviously very good teams. Only real big mistake was by the Washington defense leaving #88 all alone with Holtby. You can't let that guy be that wide open in the offensive zone. Stay behind him.

Agreed, between him and Seabrook I am not sure any team has two D man that are in their league.

Yeah, the collection of forewords who can beat you with skill and finesse Bowman has collected is simply amazing!

Definitely worth watching, two great teams battling it out. You won't like the outcome but it was still a great game!

Yeah leaving him that much space is inviting disaster even when he has no space and they triple cover him his passing is amazing. Most recent example of his passing skill is that saucer pass across the ice that Panarin slammed home on a one timer. I also like that he has matured into a two way player, dude just does everything right!

By no means am I trying to rub it it but that was an unforced, inexcusable mental error that cost the Caps at least a point. Admittedly, Rasmussen still had put the puck in the net but that icing blunder was every bit as detrimental to the Caps as leaving Kane about an acre of open ice to tee up his shot a minute after Washington scored the first goal!

Oh, I realize how fortunate I am to have a cheap activity. It all started because I didn't have squat to do on the weekends and it escalated really quickly. That $235 jersey, while possibly the coolest thing I own, put a dent in the "cheapness" of it though. :lol

On the topic of Staal, at first glance it kinda seemed like we got the shaft, especially retaining 50% of his salary, but then again I know nothing about player worth other than NHL 16 ratings...

All I know is that apparently we have the future of Finnish hockey in our system with this new Saarela guy and Sebastian Aho, so I better be seeing Finland on some medal podiums in the future or things may not be sterling here.
