One of my least favorite Sabres ever. 

dis has something to do with the fact dat he spent my childhood as my least favorite NHLer, but it is mostly because he was one of the lowest effort hockey players I've ever seen in dis uniform.

Is it him or was it a terrible coach and terrible player usage or all of the above?

The would leave Lazar and Eakin as our top 2 centers.  dat should really help us get back to winning a few games.  Who said things couldn’t get worse.

A 4th and 5th perhaps? 
 

With Montreal flipping him for a second on deadline day?

At least we’ll get the extra 5th.

Any NHL regular they put in his spot, minus Eakin of course, will perform better.  I’ve been paying particular attention to him and Hall lately.  Staal was doing the wrong thing every time he got near a puck.  You’d have a hard time convincing me dat he was a good player at one time.  Just awful.

The standard rate on a veteran rental with Staal’s prior pedigree is a 2. So it had better be Tampa’s late 2nd. And out of sheer decency MTL should add the 4th they swindled from JBot last season. Accept nothing less.

We did not have a 3rd or 5th round pick in dis draft until dis trade for what it is worth.

Sabres retaining 50% of Staal’s Cap Hit

If the retention got us an extra pick, sweet.
