Lyle Richardson at The Hockey News says despite some internet rumors the Rangers will not be trading Marc Staal to Anaheim for Bobby Ryan..."Don’t hold your breath awaiting that deal. The Rangers and Ducks share a similar issue – blueline depth – so swapping Ryan for Staal won’t help the Blueshirts in that regard. The respective management teams of both clubs repeatedly insisted they won’t trade either player and would match any offer sheets for them."
...Ryan is a stud, but the Rangers would be severely short-handed on defense without Staal. Plus, I very much doubt the Ducks want to rid themselves of Ryan.

That would be the best trade the rangers could make. Ryan is a fantastic player. You could easily replace Staal, we have plenty of defenseman, our goal scoring on the other hand.....
I like Staal, but I think I'd make that deal. The Rangers problems the last couple of season have been a lot more about the anemic offense than the D. With McDonough and McIllrath in the pipeline and a good number of decent cheap RFA defensive options out there in the short term, I'd be willing to take on a young point a game guy in Ryan at the expense of Staal.
*UFA defensive options*
Doh!
this is probably one of those dumbest trade rumors i've heard this year. why the hell would both teams even bother?
