So IF/when he reaches his potential, he will be as good as Kessel is now.
Considering Staal is a DEFENSEMAN and plays pretty damned good defesne along with scoring that many points (if he really reaches that level) then I think it's safe to say he'd be FAR ABOVE what Kessler is right now. Kessler will continue to improve too but your statement is just full of ignorance about Staal and the value of a dman like him.
No thanks. Fair, but Staal will become an impact player in a few years, and will be a 40 point defenseman IMO.
Kessel will be 40 goal scorer and he already is a PPG player in playoffs.
This is one of those RARE give to get kind of deals. I know you are not used to it and thats why you called Staal an impact player in a few years but at the same time forgot to mention the same thing about Kessel. It's ok.

I know he is an impact player. But I believe you watched the playoffs last year, where Kessel was benched for crappy play, and bad attitude. Staal was a great player in the playoffs last year, and this year. I know it's a fair deal, but I would think it'd be stupid for both teams to trade either so early in their careers.

Well, he was a rookie last year. I do not know about you but I forgive him.
Staal is an excellent young d-men but Kessel will be 40 goal scorer and maybe even a PPG in regular season player too. Last time NYR had 40 goal scorer was in 2004, Jagr. Before that? Hmmm Adam Graves? I do not remember. Please correct me, if you give a ****.

I sense some hostility here. Staal was a rookie and he contributed largely to the playoffs against New Jersey. Anyway, when was the last time the Rangers had a stud defenseman? Leetch? Zubov? Yup. I can wait for the Rangers to try and draft a player, but I don't see the reasoning of either team doing the trade. Rangers do need a goalscorer, but not at the expense of their best player other than Lundqvist. The Rangers knew how to score goals but missed the playoffs for 7 years. The Rangers become one of the lowest scoring teams and make the playoffs four years in a row,(note the only other teams to do so are the New Jersey Devils, Detroit Red Wings, San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks, and I believe the Calgary Flames).
Note: I bolded it this time so you learn to read a whole post...
What a silly thing to say. Kessel is a one dimensional forward. Sure he is great at putting the puck in the net, but the guy wouldn't know his own zone if it bit him. Marc Staal is one of the best defensive defenders in the game, and he is starting to learn the offensive game very well. I will guarantee you, under Tortorella he will have 30 points next season, and be stellar on the defensive side as well.
Trust me, if Phil Kessel were a liability in his own zone, he wouldn't be playing a regular shift on the 1st line for Claude Julien.

Considering that this is the 2nd post where you repeatedly call him Kessler tells me that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Why are you talking about Zubov and Leetch? Is Staal that good? Good young player, no doubt about it but to put him with likes of Zubov and Leetch?
When was the last time Rangers had a stud forward?

Really, ok? Tell me, what do you think players like Kessel is worth?

I really do not give a **** about this pharagraph. I understand that you are very proud. Thank you for sharing, it was very interesting.
P.S In your last post you admited that NYR need scorer but at the same time you don't see the reasoning of either team doing the trade. Give to get concept is out of your league.
Well I was thinking about a deal centered around Sanguinetti.
What kind of return would you be looking for?
I would be fine with moving Sanguinetti or Del Zotto in a deal for Kessel. Not sure what else I'd give up, but propose something. Not really sure what it would take over one of them.

I wouldn't be fine with moving Kessel for either player. The point of moving Kessel (which I would be against anyway) would be to lower the salary cap while filling an immediate need on D. While the values of Sanguinetti or Del Zotto might be = to Kessel (and I don't really think they are) that is a huge hit on the Bruins team right now, with the hope that the D man we get back eventually turns into something.
For either one of those guys I'd offer an equivalent prospect or a veteran F with an additional prospect to even it out.
Something like Kobasew and Lehtonen/Hamill for Sanguinetti.
Del Zotto I'd imagine would have to big of a price tag to acquire.
Are you talking about the same Ryder who had 13 points in 11 playoff games this season?
And the same guy that wouldn't sniff that with the Rangers, in all likelihood.
Ryder is NOT a difference maker.
He is a solid complimentary guy. Not trying to take anything away from him, but he's a 2nd line complimentary player. Would not give up a prime asset like Sanguinetti for him.

Not a chance.
sanguinetti's a prime asset now? i'd do my best to move him this summer before he gets montoya'd
