Glen Sathers Cigar
Sather 4 Ever
I don't mind him on the 3rd pair. Play him with a partner with good escapability and puck moving skills and he will be fine in that role. Plus he's still a good PKer and a good veteran presence.I think Staal stays. He’ll be overpaid, but if he can at least keep his head mostly above water on the third pair, and be a vet on a younger team, I think they tough it out.
Obviously the contract is garbage, but it is what it is at this point. I wouldn't buy him out, especially not if we trade McD.
