Vegas ready to deal before expansion draft

A co-worker of mine heard that it is Marc Staal going to Vegas. That frees up some cap space for the Rangers to make a run at Shattenkirk.

I wonder if the Vegas Golden Knights can do what Carolina or Rangers couldn't, unite the three Staal Brothers... that would be great marketing for them.

Duchene or Eberle perhaps? Both are unwanted on their teams and each would free up $6m for the next 2 years. Either team could spend that money on greater needs.

I don't see Colorado or Edmonton giving up a high pick to rid themselves of useful assets in Duchene or Eberle. Could certainly see either or both being traded, but it would be in return for useful assets I think.

Would Ryan be considered a bigger name?

If all material facts in the article are true then these guys seem to fit the bill pretty well. Bobby Ryan does too, hadn't thought of him. Less brand name value with Brown and Ryan than with Parise, Hossa and Nash, though.

Kind of, but not really?

That would be a real gift for the Rangers if they can get rid of Staal's contract without sacrificing their entire future for the next 10 years to do so.
