Player Discussion Eric Staal (The Frickin' All-Star)

No way to know, but he seems like the type of guy that would like to go out playing for only a single team, especially being the captain here for so long.

Yeah, that's the feeling that I get as well

Staying the course, looks like a top 5 pick is coming, so I don't see how a top 5 talent won't be involved.

Wait... we'll finish high (or low) enough to pick 5th, then 3 teams behind will win the lottery, and instead we'll pick 8th.

This is kinda what my assumption has been the whole time. Isn't that what everyone is assuming? We're definitely not drafting higher than 4th, no matter what!

Nobody would hold it against him. Take a 3 month vacation from the family, get the organization a much needed future asset, and come back in the summer.

Until the team decides they don't want him back then.

Which is possible either way, since his contract is up...

True. So why agree to move then? No point in going on with this topic, as we have no clue on Mikko's thoughts.

Because he might want a cup, and a short time away from his family may not be that bad

Is this guy ever going to slow down? On pace for 69 points. Take out the first 8 games of the season and he’s a point per game player. He’s been a Bona fide 1C in this league again.

I think it shows how important a 1C is long term for this team; when we have one, we compete for the playoffs. When we don’t, we start 1-6.
