Confirmed with Link: Eric Staal to Montréal for 3rd and 5th round picks (Sabres retaining 50% salary)

A 3rd and 5th from a poor draft and 50% salary retention.....it’s a steal

Yeah I'm real excited about the trade, and that we're not likely done. If Caufield is NHL ready we have 4 extra forwards. That means we're moving one for a dman, that we sorely need.

Plus, it's a buyer's market, so MB will be active. I really hope he gets Hall. He hasn't been a game breaker this year. But he has in the past. The potential is there. We haven't had a game breaker in forever.

With Eklund going down,price is going up for D.

Good one.
Did Bergie check and see if the Red Wings have any vets also pushing 40 that he could acquire for his roster?

Capitals enters the 2020-21 season with NHL’s oldest roster – NHL Sports - Jioforme

You seen agitated that we picking up older vets.....yet we are middle of the pack in the league......what’s the issue?

Solid add for the playoff push, he's a true winner and I'm a fan of that deal!

That guy will get re-sign this summer, book it.
