One would think his value is, at best, a 3rd rd pick.

Even if Staal retires that’s a good move to shed the salary as now Buffalo can re-sign RFA forwards Olofsson, Reinhart, Thompson and Kahun/Lazar and use picks/prospect/their plethora of dmen 27yo and under to revamp their forwards.

If he doesn’t retire you can do the same but have a cheaper and actual top 6 center in the mix as well.

Not very often I find the team who traded a 35yo for a 29yo the loser of a trade..

Last time I remember seeing a 35 year old C traded for a 29 year old winger was Langkow for Stempniak
