The Fourth Period is reporting that teams are that are looking to add veteran depth ahead of the NHL trade deadline are also considering the option of signing unrestricted free agent forward Eric Staal. After the Hurricanes organization moved their former captain at the 2016 NHL trade deadline and traded him to the New York Rangers, could a reunion with the team leader in everything since relocation be on the cards?
Eric is well known in Raleigh. Being one of the two players still around from the 2006 team that won the Stanley Cup, the storyline of bringing back the old guard to aid the new generation of talent coming through is just a narrative I want to celebrate.
