Eric staal is literally the characterization of what every single person on this board wanted. Cheap, short term, 2c capable, face offs, two way, can score points. He checks every single box.

Former captain/cup champion sure doesn't (frank)in hurt either.

Staal is no juicebass so he probably sucks

And all it cost in terms of assets was Marcus Johansson, and they're saving $1.25M against the cap.

I hope this "something" is better than the something is better than nothing you were thinking of

I'm shocked how we got him for free one hell of a trade ..

I've been excited about this idea since PHam talked about it a month ago. It's brilliant in all regards

Nice move, just added 1.2mill to the coffer and a player that still has some hockey left in him, and can show the youngsters what it takes.

A productive one at least

Cheap contract too.

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

It's the perfect stop gap center

Spec for spec, Adams bent Guerin.

The Pegulas suck.
Adams is out of his league.
Everything sucks.
The boards at the HarborCenter still aren't dry.
Kim Pegula will spider bite Staal before he gets here and kill him to save the yacht.
This won't work out.

That's what all my sources are telling me.

Glad to see all the self-congratulating insiders break all this news or any piece of it before it took place.

The little birdies must not be chirping.

Although it would be a sign of organizational improvement if things aren’t leaking.

Someone on wiki said he was traded to the Pegula Mega Yachts 😂

I've been on board with this idea for a month. It's brilliant.

55 point natural center and gave up basically nothing. Hes a former captain and a cup winner. This is a slam dunk
- jcragcrumple

I wanted him 8 years ago

Impossible in buffalo, according to most

There are some who believe that it was all made up the whole time anyway, and the fact they didn't call this is no change of any kind.

Not sure if Barkov, Aho or Point were available. I'd have to double check

So Staal turned in his no trade list yesterday and the Sabres weren't on it.

I think there's something to this deal that we don't take Anton Lundell

I think they have a handshake agreement

People can't say Adam's is a joke anymore.. He fooled you all

He took care of the 2nd line center in 1 trade for free When bots couldn't get one in 2 years lol

He will need to do a lot more to make the playoffs, so I will retain my right to ridicule. Even Botts got Joker...
