Canes need to get something for Eric staal. Ducks are going all out for the cup.
Canes: Eric staal(5 million retained)
Ducks: 2016 1st, 2016 2nd
Imagine the centre depth of getzlaf, kesler, staal, horcoff
Canes only need to pay 5 mil this year, then staal is ufa, so it doesn't effect them. Anaheim could trade away maybe horcoff to fill another need, or they could play one of the centers on the wing.
Thoughts?

Can't retain more then half a contract so league wouldn't approve of this trade. Canes would want more possibly adding a prospect aswell.

They need a top line winger over a center. They shoulda took a chance with Semin

They need to sign Silfverberg.

They did take a chance with semin. It did not end well

Canes are not getting anything for Staal, he's overpaid and at the latter years of his prime.
Look at the return for Spezza, Kessel, Gaborik, Nash, etc.
Staal would fetch a mid level prospect, late first round pick, 3rd line roster player.
Doesn't matter though anyway because Canes are just going to re-sign him.

5 million retained?!?
First of all, it's not even possible.
Second, a 3.2 million dollar Eric Staal would cost A LOT more than a really late 1st and 2nd. No chance.
