Despite having a 13-year relationship with the New York Rangers, veteran defenseman Marc Staal knows that the Blueshirts’ loyalty isn’t to him, but to winning.
Staal made this quite clear in an interview with the New York Post‘s Larry Brooks.
“I’ve been here long enough to know that the Rangers are always going to do what they think is best to put a winning team on the ice. I don’t think that’s going to change.The loyalty is in trying to win the Stanley Cup, and that’s the way it should be”
Over parts of 11 NHL seasons with the Rangers, Staal has seen the team make moves involving several key players in an attempt to bring them closer to a Stanley Cup.
