Staal placed on COVID list


CanesFanStan

Recommended Posts

The Canes captain was added to the NHL COVID-19 protocol list last night. Does not mean he has COVID, could likely a precaution. Expect NHL PPG leader Morgan Geekie (former Charlotte Checkers standout) to take his spot in the lineup. Hopefully Staal can come back quickly, but the Canes have solid depth and Detroit is not a top tier team.

Well that didn’t take long. Hopefully this is related to one of the criteria that ISN’T an actual positive test. Maybe he flew home to get checked out after the signs of pain/discomfort during Game 1 and now has to quarantine ?

Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to Geekie already getting ice time.

    • I wouldn't trade Svech for the best FA on the market, Marner included. Matter of fact, someone would be giving up a top line scorer and a couple draft picks for Svech.  Look at it this way, if Svech was a UFA in a couple days, what does his contract look like? That'll tell you everything you need to know. 
    • I know it a real homer take but Im not sure Id slam dunk take that list over Smitty.  Smith just played a different way, he had an ability to just take over a game as a matter of will.  The catch against the giants where he caught it and took a helmet that broke his arm mid air, the games against DeAngelo Hall, 05 Bears playoffs, Ice Up Son, the revenge game against us. Those other WRs may have better stat books but love him or hate him, good guy or bad, Smith just played a different game and when he did look out.
    • Absolutely would have to be anther young scorer with either ELC time or a long term contract...    Could see maybe Kyrou or Robertson.... But I really just dont see him being traded you dont trade your leading post season scorer on a long term deal when he isn't even in his prime yet..   not to mention unless you get more than one of those guys at best it would be lateral with unknown team chemistry.
