This looks to be the classic trade that made both teams worse.
I don't know, seems like it only makes Minnesota worse to me. I don't understand this for them at all.
I think Staal was pretty comfortable in Minnesota. I don't know how motivated he will be to play in Buffalo.
You're right I don't understand this trade from the Wild perspective unless it was about salary.
Trade makes zero sense. They need to check Guerin for concussion issues. Staal, who loved Minnesota, took less money to play in Minnesota, who has played well in Minnesota, and makes 1M less than Johannsen, gets traded for a lesser player with a bigger cap. WTF
