The Habs just spent the exact same price on a rental in Staal.
It was the next contract when he was a UFA that bit them in the ass but a lot of that was the blood clot.

Yes, he played up to his price the first go round. The UFA contract I didn’t understand because Treliving had all the cards. Stone’s wife is from Calgary, they’d bought a house, etc. I think he could have been had a lot cheaper. More like the contract after the buyout.
