If there’s an additional by-product here, it’s the impact it will have on negotiations with impending free agent second-pair right defenseman Anton Stralman, who is averaging 19:34 as Marc Staal’s partner and who could now be expected to seek in the neighborhood of $3.3 million per.

That's a lot for Stralsy, was hoping for around 2.25-2.75M per. He's been solid for us.

This is also from Brooksie so who knows.

Dave Maloney said on Hockey Night Live, “the best defenseman since day 1, the most consistent believe it or not has been Anton Stralman. That probably cost Michael Del Zotto his career in NY. Del Zotto couldn’t supplant him to be a top four defense.
Marty Biron said, “Stralman loves the game and we used to call him Mr. Casual because he would make a mistake in the first period and say, ‘eh, that’s all right, I’ll get in in the third, don’t worry about me. He just skates around, no pressure.”
