B level defense prospect
massive negative value
C level prospect
50-62th overall

absolutely not happening

Gorts needs to walk away from smith if he wants that kind of $.

That's a joke trade, Trouba would cost Skjei +

No way you get Trouba for that. No one is taking Staal, at least not for anything of value over a salary dump deal.
Trouba would require either Skjei (which is not happening)
Or JT Miller/Buchnevich & 2018 or 2019 1st rounder & Ryan Graves. They want a LD and/or a top 6 winger.

that was a mistake. I was going to go with 3.85, then wanted switch to 4.25 on the higher end. Only changed the 3-->4

Right..I don't think they sign Jumbo Joe or Brendan Smith after the deal for Deangelo.
Just throwing something together. Little bit of wishful thinking
Think it would cost more somewhere in the neighborhood of: 18'1st +18'2nd + Graves + Staal - and that's probably just enough to get the talks going.
Gotta think, Staal can play a bottom pair, Graves is a big Dman who has had some offensive growth over the past two seasons in the AHL, doesn't lack the skating ability most Dmen his size do and should be fighting for a roster spot this upcoming season. Throw in a first and second and I think that could get the Jets to think about it at least
