Very happy with the deal, regardless of if Marc can even make it back into the NHL. Steve and staff have a history of finding value in the draft, if its an early 2nd thats a big win.. If its later, even more comfortable for Steve to take a chance on somehow who fits his vision. Stall gets to be a little closer to home, and have a chance to play everyday if he can find his spot. This really has zero downside once again.. Patience is key, and Yzerman is sticking to the plan.

I’m surprisingly happy with this move. Staal is definitely on his last legs but he’s a veteran who actually knows how to lead. Something our other veterans seem lost at. I would give him an A right off the bat. He should be a good mentor for our other young defenseman too.

*** oh crap it is 2021.

I thought it was 2020. I guess it’s a good thing? Isn’t the consensus 2020 is weak-ish?
