So bill guerin trade Staal to the sabres for johansson
when he was looking for a center since hes not resigning mikko koivu from what has been speculated
and now he trade staal, he just lost his 2 first line centers so we can already say that its pretty sure that dumba gets traded for a top 6 center now but who remains the question
montreal got danault or domi as centers avaible to trade
and outside of this im trying to remember what teams got too many centers that they are trying to trade some
Was confused with this trade.
I can see Buffalo wanting to get rid of Johansson.
He just did not work out....
Staal on the other hand does not have much duration left on his contract and has proven to be pretty durable over the years.
He was still producing decent offense for a 35 year old player.
I understand Minnesota needs to get younger but I think they could have traded Staal as a deadline piece to a team wanting a character guy with tons of experience and hockey know how to help shore up depth.
