A Trade a Day: While a lost trade for the Hurricanes, it led to a very cool late-season moment for one family

With the 2012-13 season winding down and the Canes out of the playoffs (again), the team opted for a wholesome family moment for the Staals.

I'll be up front with my assessment of this trade for the Carolina Hurricanes. They lost this one, and it's not particularly close. However, while it didn't lead to longevity for the player they acquired, it led to a cool moment for the team's home finale in 2013.

The Staal family is arguably the most important family for the Hurricanes on the ice.
