See the Marleau dump from the Leafs costing them a 1st last season. If teams are desperate enough to free up cap space (not necessarily the case for New York here), other teams can very well take advantage of that and demand a higher price than usual.
It’s not exactly off-the-wall to think Staal could’ve costed the Rangers a 1st if they were in any more on a predicament.
Marleau had to be bought out with no cap savings. Slightly different situation with the multi year 35+ contract.
What was suppose to be a late 1st and an early 2nd seems about right for the difference in cap and situation.
NYR was in no Cap troubles and with no "Big names" to re-sign, so i think some other Teams like ARI, STL, VGK, TBL and NYI ( maybe CHI ) will need to offer more.....

Thats more re-build move then Cap shed......
Strome and DeAngelo would make more than NYR had in cap space. And even then, that doesn't fill their roster. So to a fair extent, they did need to clear cap.
If Staal with 1 season left and Cap Hit $5.7M is worth a 2nd. So how much it take to move Seabrook?
Marc Staal signing bonus was payed already, you basically pay him 3.2 for one season or get the chance to buy him out (doubt it but there's a possibility). Seabrook still has 4 years of contract worth near the value of his cap space in real money. There's absolutley no chance you get to move him now

Wow you completely missed what I was saying. I'm a Wing's fan and I was responding to a comment made by a Blackhawks insinuating that the Wings should now take Seabrooks contract.

Ya, it was just to say that Seabrook contract is almost impossible to move. The "you" was generic, It's not about the team you support
NYR get some help with their terrible cap situation so they don't have to do buyouts. Detroit picks up what will likely be a mid 2nd round pick and a 3rd pairing veteran defenceman.
both teams got what they needed, rangers needed cap space .. wings needed picks .. stevie will flip staal at the deadline for more assets.. both win.. next on the choping block for NY brendan smith.. they can always send him back to the ahl .. have done it several times..
