Friedman: Teams think Eric Staal won't waive no-trade clause
/Elliotte Friedman was on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960 on Monday morning.
On Eric Staal :
“I think the other interesting kind of stuff out there is I checked – I was asking a couple of teams who I thought might be interested in Eric Staal, and they’re kind of telling me that they’re under the impression that Eric Staal will not waive his no-trade this year. I kind of looked into that, and that’s the impression I got. I mean, there’s still six weeks to the deadline, so you never know if anything changes, but there sure are teams who seem to believe he’s not going to be available, at least not this season.”
