Folks, there's no way that Kevyn Adams made this trade without running it by Staal first.  If they hadn't been teammates, I could see that theory.  But they were.  

And Skinner is here and was also on the call with Adams to Staal. He isn't retiring.

No. They were given permission to contact him. 

Also I think the trade was basically finalized and then Adams and Skinner called if I have the timeline correct.

Thank you, sirs.

I thought Jeff and Eric weren’t the best of friends..?

That can't be our 2C right? Dude is 36

His age is a concern for some of us as well.

Granted, Jagr and Chelios lasted a long time in the league, and I haven’t heard anything about Chara retiring.

But there’s always that one wrong move, and Staal’s career will be over.
