One of the best things to come from the signing of Eric Staal by the Minnesota Wild is the simple addition of another top center. That fact alone was enough to upgrade the team despite what you might think about Staal’s ability to rebound from his tough season last year. The ability for the Wild to play Charlie Coyle and Mikael Granlund on the wing is huge and will more than likely have the same effect as if the Wild had made an acquisition as both players seem to have another aspect to their game come out when relieved of the burden of playing up the middle.
