forever_hope Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 He was ripping it up without Crosby in the lineup because he was playing the top PP and the second line.. Once Crosby came back he didn't play as big of a role on the PP and moved down to the third line with Cooke and Kennedy but still put decent points.. He's only 23 (24 in September) and will have 6 seasons under his belt.. he plays in all situations and should be the go-to guy on any team he's traded to.. However, although he was healthy in his first 4 seasons, he missed 20 games this year and 40 last year.. hopefully he stays healthy cause I have him in both my keeper pools lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Burrows Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 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...
Phil_314 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I feel that if anything his PPG is lower because he plays on the same team as Sid and Geno. Staal could be a PPG+ player as a first line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson`s Flo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well Crosby and Staal have their contracts expire at the end of next year. I wonder who they'll resign the big money too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 He didn't exactly rip things up as a 2nd line player, but he put up good 2nd line numbers. But no, he's no first line player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If anything, Kesler doesn't pass much. BOOTH - J. STAAL - KESLER As for Jensen, I'll take Pahlsson any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Kesler for Staal & Despres. Kesler & Crosby = Pitts the most hated team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Let's start the Staal for Kesler speculation. Or worse, Staal for Ballard, Raymond, Luongo, Alberts, Rome, Pinnizoto, Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
