Gorton Bags Staal
General Manager Jeff Gorton put his tag on the Rangers this morning acquiring Eric Staal from the Carolina Hurricanes. And he did it by paying what many consider to be a reasonable price. Sent the other way are the Rangers 2016 and 2017 second round picks, and last years 3rd round pick 89th overall Aleksei Saarela. It is still a cost the Rangers acknowledge, Saarela in particular coming off a very good World Junior Hockey Championship Tourney and enjoying a solid season toiling for Assat in the Finnish Men’s League.
Stay tuned rumour has it Gorton is not done yet.
