I'm not on the Staal is garbage and doesn't belong in the NHL bandwagon. The guy's still a legit top4 blueliner. Considering it will cost you two forwards to protect one extra blueliner in the expansion draft, I think it's pretty clear how valuable blueliners are.
He gets paid too much for too long to be anything but a #1. We can't afford dead weight and we would have to protect him because of his NMC.
And the Taylor Hall trade is a stronger piece of evidence for you if there's somebody who still needs to be convinced of that.
