He knows he is heading straight to free agency, so why should he care. Some other team will sign him to a one year minimum wage deal or he might be contemplating retirement after this year.
Why should he care? Because he’s a professional, he’s on a team trying to make the playoffs, he doesn’t want to let down his teammates, maybe he wants to make more than the veteran’s minimum if he continues playing next season. There is a lot of reasons.
It’s too bad Ducharme can’t make anymore moves because Staal should be watching the games. At least, as @montreal pointed out, his minutes have decreased. Next he needs to take him off the power play.
