Staal's looking to improve for the third straight season.Marc Staal had an up and down season last year despite his rise in production. He had to sit out a few games and get his head together, but that being said this is a great move by the Rangers. He's their top defenseman and he'll be needed in their own zone to help out Henrik. While Del Zotto (who was worst on the team with a horrendous -20) and Gilroy may be fun to watch rush the puck, it's Staal who leads the unit and Staal who will be counted to shut down their best guys come playoff time. Now get out there, earn that $3.975 million a year, and knock out Ilya. It'll be fun I promise.
If you don't like Bobby Ryan go back to Afghanistan you terrorist.Bobby Ryan's a Jersey guy therefore it isn't a coincidence that he's a great player. Good signing by the Ducks after there were talks of him being shipped elsewhere. The West is wide open this year with Chicago imploding their roster, San Jose ditching Nabakov and picking up a cup winner in Neimi, Detroit deciding (thankfully) to go old school and rely on a stud goalie, and the city of Vancouver still partying ever since Dustin Byfuglien left the conference, so keeping a player of Ryan's caliber is something the Ducks needed to do. If they can stop playing the regular season like they've already made the playoffs then they have the talent in net and up front to make noise.
