Pretty low risk move. Good I guess.
Staal has a history with our new coach. Jumbo doesn't.I wonder why they decided to sign him, instead of bringing back Jumbo for another year... What more does he bring to the table ? Hasn't even played in the NHL last season, wasn't convincing in training camp. Or did Thornton not want to play here anymore ? Genuinely curious about that.
Kiersted was shit yesterday. He shoots like a beer leaguer.He played better than Kiersted last night.
Also, Jumbo id toast. Staal can at least still play at a functional level.Staal has a history with our new coach. Jumbo doesn't.
