Staal needs to be offered and accept an extension prior to the draft. We need to find out if he will leave in 2014 to the Canes. If he does plan to leave, I propose this trade
To Carolina: Marc Staal, 2013 2nd Round Choice
To Rangers: Andrew McBain and Carolinas 2013 first round choice
Being that we have John Moore, we are set on the left side of our defense. Mc Bain plays the right side and will nicely compliment Girardi and Stralman.
The First Round choice could be a great talent.
I would rather keep Marc Staal if he signs the extension.

You mean Jamie McBain, right? I don't know if Carolina would be willing to do this, especially when they may have the advantage in getting Staal to come play for them. However, I do like McBain, and it would be great to get a pick back in this year's draft after trading away ours.

Don't see he Rangers making this deal. Staal has been a good Ranger. If he wants to be here they will find the space to re-sign him.
When healthy, he is STILL arguably our best D Man. Which says a lot alongside McD and Girardi.
If they want to trade him, he would return something extra nice. Assuming he's healthy at that point.
I'm not sure how much I buy into the idea that he wants to be in Carolina. Jordan took a trade there because, in addition to his brother playing there, he was pretty much up against the glass ceiling with the Pens in that the two best centers in the world were before him on the depth chart. Marc doesn't have that same situation here. He's a top defenseman pretty much no matter who comes or goes. Girardi may be on the first pairing with McD, but thats more for balance and Staal manages to get big minutes even when he's technically on the second pair. Also, say what you will about NYR's team-building strategy, it's surely not the best in the NHL, but it's far better than whatever is going on in Carolina. Lastly, I just think the brother link is overblown. I have a brother, we get along well and are pretty tight, but what he wants isn't what I want. Brothers aren't clones of one another. Jordan doing something doesn't mean that Marc is going to do the same thing.
He does. Which is just one of the many reasons why this post is jumping the gun.
Not really when think about right now is value is much higher than it would be down the road. Look at Iginla, the flames waited and ended up with a much worse return than they would have gotten if they had traded him earlier. Again, I am not advocating trading him one bit. I love that guy and what he brings. My first choice would be to make him a career Ranger. But the team needs to properly assess the situation.

What the hell was Jordan Staal gonna do anyway to stop the trade? As far as I know, he don't have any NTC/NMC in his contract.
