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

[Kudo Shinichi]

Lavoie said trade is not done yet.
So seems like its confirmed the habs will acquire Staal.
Just a matter of what they are going to give up

Eric Staal for the Habs

I say no on principle to staal on the habs.

 

[montreal]

They could send Byron to Laval if it's just Staal for a 3rd

 

[dinodebino]

Howdy Doody with the Habs, hé ben. I HATED that guy with the Eye Gouging team, like you wouldn't believe.

hearing salary retain by Buffalo.

Word is Staal for 3rd round pick with Buffalo taking up $2 mil. Current pending as Staal has 19 teams no trade list. Rumor has it Montreal is on that list.

 

[Vachon23]

Dale Weise was right after all

 

[FF de Mars]

Byron, a 2nd and a 3rd for Staal? I would be extatic. I wonder how much it costs to dump Byron.

Staal Perry Weber Price

That team would have been dominant 10 years ago

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Let's re-sign Kovalchuk and ice a 4th line of Kovalchuk - Staal - Perry. We can call that line the "10 years too late" line.

EDIT:

Staal Perry Weber Price

That team would have been dominant 10 years ago

Well nevermind I'm too late

His cap is 3.25m, can't retain more than 1.625m

Radio mention Lehkonen on the move. Stay toon.

Of course it is. The f***ing hillbilly.

 

[The Great Weal]

Staal is a nice add, but get a top 4 Dman for crying out loud
