To put an end to speculation, Canes GM Ron Francis said, "We are not moving Jordan Staal." — Chip Alexander (@ice_chip) February 23, 2015

Staal, who missed much of the season after a training camp injury, has recorded three goals and 11 assists in 22 games, and remains under contract through the 2018-19 season.

Despite the club's struggles, it appears Jordan and brother Eric Staal are still integral parts moving forward.
