Good for him I guess, but dude was done 2 years ago, he should just retire.

 

[SomeDude]

So, was he already planning on being down there on vacation and just wanted a way to make the travel costs tax deductible, or what?

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

lol.

Problem: embarrassed in playoffs.

Solution: acquire Staals.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

That applies to both Staals

 

[Mickey Marner]

I had no idea either Staal was still playing.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

lol.

Problem: embarrassed in playoffs.

Solution: acquire Staals.

The Panthers will think he's relatively young after signing 63 year old Joe Thornton last year.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

E. Staal played under Maurice for ~3.5 years overall across his 2 stints as HC of the Hurricanes.

 

[kanucks25]

Canes sign Kadri and trade Jordan to Panthers.

 

[frederixx]

He's done. But worth giving it a try I guess

Getting cut from a PTO is a sad way to end a good career but if that's the way he wants to go, I gotta respect a guy who wants to keep playing.

 

[BKarchitect]

Even with a year off he’s still probably better than what Thornton was for the Panthers last year.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

This guy just won't give up will he?

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

That's 2022 Team Canada Captain Eric Staal to you.

 

[Terry Yake]

thornton replacement?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Getting cut from a PTO is a sad way to end a good career but if that's the way he wants to go, I gotta respect a guy who wants to keep playing.

He'll probably make the team, he's still better than what Jumbo was last season. He fills the Jumbo role, adds more leadership, plus Maurice likes him. For a 13th F, he's not that bad.

 

[jetsforever]

He's still around?

 

[miscs75]

Carolina trading Jordan to Florida?

 

[miscs75]

What’s next, Jared gets hired as an assistant coach?

 

[Umingmak]

I’m a big fan of Staal, but he looked absolutely awful at the Olympics. He’s done.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He’s got a few years left in him.

 

[Oddbob]

Man, they love having over the hill guys on their roster don't they. Last year Thornton who was toast and now Staal who was toast 2 seasons ago.

He’s got a few years left in him.

No, Eric absolutely doesn't.
