While I don’t think Staal is the answer to our woes, if we are short on C and he is ok uprooting his family for one year, he could be a stopgap if we move one of Backlund or Monahan. He’s been remarkably durable, has a cap winning pedigree and would change culture of dressing room. I have doubts he would be interest in coming here but if we make a deal that weakens us at C, you have to at least look at the option.
