NHL TRADE RUMOR: ERIC STAAL TO OTTAWA SENATORS
August 14, 2015image descriptionby The Hockey Press


Eric Staal - CAR
Player: Eric Staal
Possible NHL teams: • OTT • NSH • MIN

2015 Salary: 9.5M
Report: As of right now we're hearing that the Ottawa Senators have expressed interest in C Eric Staal. No other teams have shown that they are interested.
Carolina Hurricanes are in the midst of a rebuild, and by trading Eric Staal, they would be acquiring ( From what we are hearing ) a Blue Chip Prospect, 1st round draft pick, a roster player ETC.
PROPOSED TRADE (idea):
Carolina Hurricanes trade:
• Eric Staal ( Retained 2M )
• 4th round draft pick
Ottawa Senators for:
• Zack Smith
• Nicholas Paul
• Cole Schneider
• 1st round draft pick
• 3rd round draft pick
WHY THIS TRADE MAKES SENSE:
Carolina Hurricanes: CAR Would acquire Zack Smith a solid bottom 6 C, who can play in all situations. Nicholas Paul who was a draft pick steal. He is LW who is projected to be a Top 6 Forward, not bad for a 4th round draft pick. Cole Schneider who is strong player mentally. He isn't afraid of driving the net, most of his goals are deflections, tip-ins ETC. He is an excellent skater, and is projected to be an NHL Forward. They also get a 1st and 3rd to help the rebuild.
Ottawa Senators: The Ottawa Senators would acquire Eric Staal a 30 year old 6'4" Center (Lefty) playing for the Carolina Hurricanes. He played in multiple NHL all star games, but due to injury and lack of team performance he managed to acquire 23 goals and 31 assist in 77 games this season, a good total, but a low total compare to his previous performances, OTT also acquires a 4th round draft pick, and 2M of Eric Staal's contract retained.
If Eric Staal doesn't get traded before Free agent frenzy we would expect the Nashville Predators who need a star centre man and the Minnesota Wild who don't even know if they need a star center man to take a crack at him.
In the end this trade makes sense and would help both teams, but what do you think of the recent news? not at all my idea but thanks to the The Hockey Press

Seems fair to me, maybe a bit of an overpayment as I see Staal just resigning in Carolina in the offseason but that's what it would probably take.


2.) 15 Aug 2015 06:22:57
Highly doubtful.
Staal is due for a new contract, no guarantees it would be with Ottawa. Also, Nick Paul is in the trade for possibly a single year out of Staal? Me thinks not. And a 1st as well that could end up being in the top-10? I very much doubt this rumor has any legs at all if it truly is a rumor from The Hockey News.


3.) 15 Aug 2015 15:42:45
Oh I missed the 1st round pick in the trade. Drop the first then it's fair.


4.) 16 Aug 2015 03:24:30
Too much for Staal. Way too much.


5.) 17 Aug 2015 08:27:27
I would say the trade should be:

CAR: E.Staal + 2017 3rd round draft pick

OTT: A.Chiasson + C.Greening + N.Paul + Conditional 2016 2nd round pick

* If Eric Staal resigns with Ottawa or the Sens make the Confrence finals then pick becomes a first in 2016.

You know what I'll just make mine a 1st round pick

Too much from edm


2.) 06 May 2015 11:41:49
Easy no from Edmonton. What exactly has Lehner and Cowan done in the NHL to he worth Eberle. Edm would not be the one adding a pick here that's for sure.


3.) 06 May 2015 13:13:12
Why would Edmonton trade one of their biggest trading chips for 2 unknowns who hasn't lived up to expectations yet?


4.) 06 may 2015 17:34:24
here we go agan edmonton fans think their players are worth more then any other player read this you have to give to get and what has your been missing goal and defence lol


5.) 07 May 2015 04:01:28
lehner is a streaky goalie cowan is a left handed defensemen plus he isn't top2 talent edm has nurse marincin and klefbom who are just as good eberle is a top 10 rw in this league basically edm says hell no


 

 

06 May 2015 01:40:06
Ott: Lehner, Cowan and 1st

EDM: Hall

Not a chance. You sound like a leafs fan. Totally lopsided trade


2.) 06 May 2015 11:42:43
This in silly, Easy no from Edm. Can get better packages from other teams if they decide to put up an auction for Hall.

Leafs:both 1st RND 15 and riely

Oilers:1st OVR

Ok but I'd think more


 

 

19 Apr 2015 12:37:12
McDavid is not nhl ready so the oilers.

OIL:1st ovr

Tampa:Hedmen, bishop 2nd round pick in 2015 and a prospect.


This helps the oilers because they get a good D and the get there starting goalie

Tampa gets McDavid who will develop there the most because of there team, management and coaching staff.

Hell jo


2.) 19 Apr 2015 13:13:35
You guys have to be kidding me. Right?? Edmonton will not trade him no matter what the offer is.


3.) 19 Apr 2015 15:18:34
Edmonton wouldn't make that trade and Tampa is trying to win they need Hedman


4.) 20 Apr 2015 09:52:31
No from both.
