"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report
Eric Staal has done plenty for the state of North Carolina.
He won the team a Stanley Cup in 2006, but now, he's no longer part of that great city.
The day before the 2016 trade deadline, Staal was traded to the New York Rangers, leaving behind the memories he had in Carolina.
Staal recently wrote for the Player's Tribune about returning to Carolina on Thursday to play his former team.
Here is a snippet from the article.
"I’ve been around the organization long enough to know that it’s in good hands. It’s led by smart people and has a lot of young talent that I think will bring a new wave of success.
As we go our separate ways, I want to express nothing but gratitude to the Carolina Hurricanes for everything they’ve done for me. From the fans to the players to people working in the meal room, thank you so much.
I may play for New York now, but Carolina is always going to feel like home."
