He is not HOF material but Im curious how far off you think he is from being?
Yeah. I complained bitterly when Fletcher signed him. Guess that's why I'm not a GM.To be fair he looked like crap in Carolina,also. I thought he was going to be the worst signing of that free agency period to an albatross of a contract. Wroooooooong.

Not surprised if he plays with FBJ.
Edit: And Zucker got 30. FBJ is handing out candy left and right.
Always liked Eric Staal, and he was player I preferred most on the Canes teams back then.
Seemed to gotten underrated after a bad half season in NY. Nice to see him turning it around.
He's shown that he's still a legitimate number one center in the league. Good for him.
Always nice to see older veterans still be very successful after many years in the league.
New HF, who dis?
He was pretty effective in NY. We just didn't play him.

Canadiens also haven't had one since 93/94 with Vincent Damphousse. 40 goals is a major achievement in today's NHL.Kings haven't had a 40 goal scorer since Robitaille in 93-94. Unless you count Glen Murray, who scored 6 of his 41 in 01-02 before being shipped off to the Bruins and scoring 35 more. I personally don't count that though.
If Kopitar stays hot, there's an outside chance he could get there but he needs six goals in the final five games. That would sure help with the playoff push!
Point is, that's a heck of an arbitrary mark to hit, especially for a guy like Staal in his 14th year.
Granlund.
He's got a pretty good shot of making it in my opinion. Really depends on how long he can hold onto his resurgence. If he gets close to 1100 points, he's probably in. He's got a cup, and Olympic gold on his resume.He is not HOF material but Im curious how far off you think he is from being?
Grandlund only started to play with Staal in the latter half of the season, and only then sporadically. Staal has been the driver of his line this year. Not Granlund, who is tapering off recently. Also, Zucker creates space for everyone on his line with his speed, and gets in on the forecheck early. He helps Granlund just as much as Granlund helps him. He is by no means a creation of him.Not surprised if he plays with FBJ.

Lol *facepalm*40 goals in today's NHL in his 14th season, that's pretty damn impressive. Especially on a team not known for high offensive output.
And thats why these trophies **** so hard.Probably 250-300 points and a major award away. Not getting the Conn Smythe in 05/06 could really come back to bite him.
