I want absolutely nothing to with Eric Staal as a Hab, unless he comes here as a UFA.
Because the pricetag will be ridiculously high for what he can bring.
Eric Staal isn't on the trade market last I heard. It's not because some idiot in Toronto thinks it would be great to have him on his team that he is. Just saying.
The equity people here are offering is crazy. It's not like we were trying to get Malkin or Crosby... Spezza was traded for 10x less what everone is offering.

The UFA cost will also be horrendeously high
thats true but this way you are talking alot of assets to get him AND money to resign him.
Malhotra, Bork, Moen, Andrighetto, Thomas, Drewieske and Weise's corpse
for Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and fresh buscuits, 40% of buscuit's cap hit retained
I want both Staals. One is Eric and the other is ransom to make Eric re-sign.
Staal + Staal
For
Desharnais, Eller, 1st, 2nd, two prospects, player to equalize salary.

I'd like Staal a lot in Montreal, to have Patches play alongside him.
For that to happen, DD needs to go (or else he'd prevent staal from 1st line minutes with Pac )
A 1st rounder is a given IMO.
A good prospect, or two decent ones.
For me the base of the trade would be this:
to that, I'd add 2 of the following (one forward+one defenseman OR two forwards):
Wow, some people here don't see the point of having Staal in Montreal? Seriously? Heck of a player on a terrible team...
Someone called him inconsistent? Take a second and go see his statistics, that's pretty much one of the most consistent guys out there.
I'd give a lot to have Staal in Montreal. He's exactly what we're looking for. Salivating at the idea of having Staal, Galchenyuk and Plekanec at center.
What if...what if...people were actually patient with Galchenyuk and let him become our first line centre in the near future?
