Why wasn’t Buffalo on Eric Staal’s 10-team no-trade list?
...
The answer to the question, according to a source close to the matter, is that the 10 teams on Staal’s list were populated mostly by playoff clubs that kept calling Minnesota over the last few years to see if they could convince the centre to move at the deadline.
It never occurred to Staal or his veteran agent Rick Curran that the struggling Sabres would see fit to trade for a player who will turn 36 on Oct. 29. So you can see their thinking, there.
