Lmao. A 36 year old

A productive one at least

Cheap contract too.

Not sure why Minnesota took him for Mojo but at least he’s a natural center.

True, but both him and MoJo have 1 year left. He's less expensive and scores more. I'm assuming we added.

I think that means 8th overall is not getting moved for a center.

Look at that.

A 2C without giving up the 8th OA pick

Well at least they got a center who didn't mesh well with Skinner in Carolina

He might be one. Probably isn't anymore.

He was bad to for a lot of last year.

I was literally reading people in Minny saying he was cooked yesterday,

Cup winning veteran, natural 2C.

It's a terrific move. Terrific.

It’s a one year trade. I like it. perfect bridge for Cozens. Mojo sucks. Start moving more of Botts trash too (montour, mitts)

Will Staal coming to us reverse the curse of buffaluck ?

Hopefully. If not another past his prime guy we would have creemed our jorts a few years ago for.

Surprised but apparently it's a straight up 1 for 1.

They traded a 40 point forward with 1 year left for a 40 point forward with one year left.

I don't get it. He's less expensive and more productive, Staal had a NMC I believe. Just weird, but Dreger says it's a done deal.
- RhinoFan


10 team modified no trade I believe.

Pending UFA for a pending UFA 1 for 1.

If it doesn’t work he’s gone in free agency.

Staal can play Center and Mojo can’t.

Good start for Adams imo
