NHL Trade Deadline is a snoozefest after Rangers introduce Eric Staal
If you took off from work to watch NHL Network or TSN boy do you want a do-over! In what turned out to be a 20 small deals (aside from Boedker to Col and Russell to Dal), the Rangers also could not find any additional trading partners.
Today was still exciting as Eric Staal took to the MSG for practice and even scored a goal.
