Maybe not today, but soon. Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC 1h1 hour ago On Staal -- agreement in principle is in-place. Now the lawyers get paid. Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 13m13 minutes ago One more detail on Staal deal: full NTC for first 3 years and starts right away; then after 3 years it becomes a partial NTC Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 13m13 minutes ago also has full no-move throughout which only pertains to waivers (can't be placed on waivers) There goes the Staal Family reunion in Raleigh. The New York Rangers have agreed to terms with defenceman Marc Staal on a contract extension, the team announced on Sunday. The deal is for six years and is worth $5.7 million per season. "It's the place I want to be," said Staal according to a Rangers team tweet. "I've had great time growing up in this organization and have a lot of respect for what they do." LeBrun also reported that the deal will include a full no-trade clause for the first three years, but then become a partial no-trade clause, it will have a full no-movement clause as well, only pertaining to waivers. "It's been fun winning games with the guys in this room," said Staal. "This is the right choice (for me)." The Thunder Bay, Ontario native was selected in the first round, 12th overall, of the 2005 NHL Draft by the Rangers and has spent eight seasons with the club, since making his debut during the 2007-08 campaign. In 43 games this season, Staal has contributed two goals and six assists while also posting a plus-8 rating and 32 penalty minutes. The 28-year-old defenceman has appeared in 68 playoff games with the Rangers and has six goals and 10 assists in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think his last name fetched him an extra million and an extra year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 2015 Draft one of the deepest drafts since 2003. 2015 FA class however, is most likely one of the worst in a long time. Anyways good deal for them. I was hoping that he was going to go back with his Staal brothers in FA but NYR is easily the best selection because they are a playoff team.

wallstreetamigo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 In other news: His brothers were reached for comment in Carolina and were like, "WTF. Doesn't he know how much we have sacrificed to all be together in Carolina of all places? One of us definitely needs to concuss him again."

Toews Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 To think they let Stralman go to pay him this much. Anyways I suppose if a guy like Orpik can make 5.5M then this seems to be the range for Staal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Tough to let a solid young(ish) D-man walk for nothing. Especially with the Rangers in "win-now" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Free Agency is usually pretty weak when it comes to getting a top 2 defenseman, and this is further proof that it just doesn't happen. Sure, defensemen make it to FA, but those that go are usually 3/4 defensemen who get overpaid. This goes to show that the only way a team (i.e. Vancouver) is going to get a bonafide top 2 defenseman is through the draft. Otherwise, they are going to have to severely overpay in a trade.

Honeydew Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd laugh if he mulls and signs with Carolina anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hasn't he kind of sucked since his eye injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 To think they let Stralman go to pay him this much. Anyways I suppose if a guy like Orpik can make 5.5M then this seems to be the range for Staal. I think getting Boyle was part of the reason too. Anyways, the price may seem high, but I think J. Staal is making 6 per year so it isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senpai Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hasn't he kind of sucked since his eye injury? Yup. EDIT: Well, "sucked" may not be the appropriate word, but definitely has regressed, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Staal logs a bit more minutes than Tanev, but his production and results are quite similar. Chris is still RFA, so it's not a complete parallel...but you have to think a deal for Staal in the 5.7 range helps Tanev get around 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I am surprised his eye healed to the point in which he is still quite effective!!! That's pretty damn sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 That is huge overpayment he is worth 4.5m max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 That is huge overpayment he is worth 4.5m max. I wouldn't be opposed to 5 mil if he were on our team. But he is more defensive and probably doesn't deserve more then 4.5 range. Hammer dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 A looooottttt of money. Staal hasn't been the same for a while now. Still top 4 quality but not nearly as great as he used to be. Good for Rangers on retaining him but very pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 About 1m too much IMO, but good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer dollars. Hamhuis is underpaid, because of when he signed his contract and taking less than the market rate to sign in Vancouver. If we were to sign Hamhuis right now, it would cost 6 million or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
