GoaltenderInterference Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't know if this is considered a valid source, so take it for all it's worth (or lock this if the mods decide it isn't valid). Sorry if it's been posted already. Earlier tonight Alan Robinson, one of the few Pittsburgh media members worth respecting tweeted this out: This could only be the beginning of the worst summer ever. But it isn't surprising. Something has gone terribly wrong inside the Pens locker room. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigneault's Timeout Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Damn, the Flyers are doing a fine job vs. Pittsburgh if that's the case! lol Staal's lame play on the OT goal in game 2 was sad (didn't see it? That's because there was no play!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Stall is UFA at the end of next year. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves then. Pitt could get a significant return for him in the off season, like a top tier Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You would think he'd want out since a first line calibre player is in a 3rd line center position. But if one could dream of a roster for 2013-14... Daniel - Henrik - Hartnell Booth - Kesler - Staal Higgins - Schroeder - Jensen Burrows - Lapierre - Hansen **drools** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Horvat Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well, if this is indeed true maybe this is Calgary's opportunity to finally get that top young center that they've desperately needed for so long. Here's a proposal I just came up with that may make sense for both teams. Pittsburgh gets a productive, experienced winger in Iginla who's usually good for 30+ goals a year and who has history playing with Crosby. Pittsburgh also dumps some much needed cap space to help sign players in the offseason for their own retooling. Calgary gains a gritty winger to help with scoring, which is obviously a problem that they're trying to address. To Calgary: Jordan Staal Chris Kunitz or Zbynek Michalek To Pittsburgh: Jarome Iginla 2013 2nd Round Pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Horvat Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Came in here just to make this proposal. I doubt Kunitz or Michalek would be included. Honestly, it'd be awesome for a Jarome for Staal deal straight up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baercheese Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Great minds think alike. =P Only problem is that Pittsburgh won't have enough cap space to take on Iginla's cap hit straight on, that's why I included one of Kunitz or Michalek. Kunitz is a lot more realistic of an inclusion in this trade because Pittsburgh's defense isn't that deep at the moment outside of Martin, Michalek and Letang IMO. I think Calgary would be willing to give up a 2nd Round Pick if it means they can finally get that young centre they've been seeking for ages.

Niloc009 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Jordan Staal had a PPG of 0.81 this year. That puts him as a top line centre on... Anaheim (0.70 of Getzlaf) Buffalo (0.55 of Roy) Calgary (0.74 of Jokinen) Colorado (0.68 of O'Reilly) Columbus (0.55 of Brassard) Florida (0.71 of Weiss) Minnesota (0.80 of Koivu) Montreal (0.74 of Desharnais) Nashville (0.71 of Fisher) NY Rangers (0.80 of Richards) Phoenix (0.45 of Vermette) St. Louis (0.66 of Backes) Toronto (0.69 of Grabovski) Winnipeg (0.62 of Little) *positions taken from NHL.com so if a player is listed as a centre and he's not, not my fault) Though his PPG is likely boosted by playing on the same team as Sid and Geno, I can understand why he's not content playing 3rd line minutes.

Hobble Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Would love if the Jets made a push for him. Little is just not skilled enough as a first line center. However, I am not too keen on the price that it would take to get him. Likely Bogosian or Byfuglien + more. Doubt Enstrom would be the kind of defenseman they are looking for.
