Eric Staal Trade Rumors

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

XM radio personality, Bill Waters (formerly on AM 640 in Toronto), claimed yesterday that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Hurricanes had a trade in place involving Eric Staal.

The deal is on hold because of Brian Burke’s Christmas roster freeze (10 days before the NHL roster freeze). Waters claims the deal will be complete after the roster freeze.

It seems a deal was made when the Leafs played Carolina last Monday. We will have to wait and see what comes of this trade rumor?

I would make that trade in a heart beat, stall is a proven point per game leader. the leafs won't get an opportunity like this every day. Luke is going to be an amazing player but its a lot easier to find a good D than a great point/game forward, stanley cup winner. Burkey please make this happen, all i want for xmas is that deal DONE!!!! :lol:

Um, I think Burke would make an exception to his rule if this were true.

Jake,
Are you high? Look at Staal's career stat line. The guy has 430 odd points in 490 odd games... That's like 0.85 PPG. Other than 2-3 years around when the Canes won the cup they have been poopoo. A guy who still manages to average close to a PPG on a basement team should be commended. Plus he is a physical monster and throws his weight around. Exactly what the Leafs need down the middle. To top it all off he's only 27. I don't care what it costs, if this rumor has any truth the farm needs to be sold for this stud.
I will agree with you however, that I doubt it ever will.

For pitties sake not another Leafs rumor . We all know Burke has been trying to get a deal done for 3 years that would bring some top talent to Toronto .
I will believe it when I see it and if the cost is too high I will complain whether it is Eric Staal or not another trade the farm deal like Kessels won't be acceptable .
Considering Staal has 20 points so far and is on pace to earn 47 points how much of an upgrade can we expect from him since no doubt there will be some talent going the other way .
Eric Staal's point earnings has leveled off at around 75 points per season which is not bad at all considering carolina's record . So yes the leafs could certainly use his talents but I would hate to see Schenn traded for him since the leafs already lack toughness .

Howard Berger.... the Leafs beat reporter is saying it is Luke Schenn and Clarke MacArthur for Staal.

Kulemin, Kadri, Gunner + 2nd??? Grabs could be in there too. Would that do it?
