Great signing by the Wild.
Why the Flames couldn't do this - Eric Staal would only go to a team where he could play center. Flames would have to promise him that Bennett would be on the wing. Given that, I am not sure I would love this signing for the Flames.
Great signing for a team that has room at center though. Definitely a low risk deal, and even if Staal doesn't approach the numbers he once has (and I don't think anyone expects him to) he is still a valuable player worth a pretty penny more IMO.
