To CHICAGO:Eric Staal Robin Lehner BUF 5th 2021 To BUFFALO:Thomas Greiss Serron Noel (P) Cole Schwindt (P) CHI 3rd 2020 Buffalo also agrees to retain 50% of Eric Staal's salary for the 2020-21 season ($3,000,000). Tough moving Staal here as he's rated quite well. But with him being a 1-year contracted player, despite in-season UFA negotiation potential, plus the return here with high quality youth in Noel and Schwindt, we had to take this deal. The goalie swap is basically a push, and we pick up another good 2020 pick to boot. Pleasure doing business with ya Dan.

Hawks Agree.
Lehner was our top (realistic) G target headed into the draft and Staal fills a very big hole at 2C for us and the retention gives us flexibility moving forward.
Pleasure as always, Tommy.
