Marc Staal –

Now just like Dan Girardi, Staal’s recent performances shouldn’t dictate how he has played for the New York Rangers through out his career. Staal is another former first round pick for the New York Rangers as he was selected 12th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Level Draft. Staal just finished his 10th season playing for the Rangers.

During his tenure in New York, Staal has totaled 37 goals and 119 assists in 689 regular season games. Marc Staal has been one of the Rangers top pairing defensemen for years now. He has done well shutting down the leagues best forwards each season.

Staal’s game has been slowing down over the past few years but that shouldn’t hinder Staal’s career as a New York Ranger.
