Default Habs trade 2021 3rd and 5th for Eric Staal (50% retained)

Hearing #Sabres are working on an Eric Staal trade. Sounds like #Habs are leading contender to get him. Not done yet. Stay tuned.

Done deal. #Habs trade 2021 3rd and 5th round picks for Staal.

The north division had so much potential...its unfortunate with almost half the season remaining..its just about positioning...

Holy. Great pickup by Montreal.

Surprised that Buffalo couldn’t get more for Staal. Would have thought that the Hurricanes might be interested

Solid pickup by the Habs, and it makes sense for the Sabres to acquire draft picks.

Good move by both teams.

Mtl already bolstering up to solidify their playoff spot.

Dont think the Flames can play ball in the trade market until deadline day anyways. But I think they're done anyways. Get to selling what you can. The expiring contracts and all.

No, I would think Staal has more value.

Blows my mind that Buffalo is so terrible with so many high profile players who just never seemed to gel. TIL Eric Staal was playing on the Sabres which makes it even more boggling. On the downswing of his career obviously, but I guess Buffalo gonna Buffalo.

Good deal for the Habs who should be able to squeeze a bit more out of him.

Habs still have 7 picks in the first 4 rounds after sending two to Buffalo
