The biggest addition made to the Minnesota Wild lineup thus far this summer was the addition of free-agent center Eric Staal. The excitement for the Staal signing was certainly felt all around the State of Hockey as it seemed that the Wild had added an impact forward to the lineup. Then without missing a beat the speculation started that the new acquisition Staal would be the center for a top line with Zach Parise and Charlie Coyle. Staal is certainly a former 40 goal scorer and capable in the past of playing on the top line, but with increased production over the last couple of years the question becomes can he still be a first line forward/center?
