The Minnesota Wild will certainly be relying on Eric Staal not to regress horribly, especially given their division certainly appears to have gotten more competitive over the summer break.
Staal, upon arriving in Minnesota, could always be relied upon for somewhere in the realms of fifty to sixty points each year.
He had a couple of personal outlying seasons; one split between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers where he didn’t quite hit the forty mark and his young years in Carolina where he hit 100 on one occasion. However, for the most part he sticks within a quite tight range.
