So if you didn’t know that the New York Rangers traded for Eric Staal about a month ago, I feel bad for you, but on the other hand, I am glad to inform you.
Eric Staal, as explained in the video, won a Stanley Cup with Carolina during his tenure as captain with the Canes. He played there for 13 years before being traded and also played three seasons with one of his brothers during that time. This Thursday will be Staal’s first time back on the ice he once called home as the Rangers take on the Canes and moment like this always seem to pick at the heart of players who learn to love the city they once embodied.
