GM Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 1) Jordan grew up a Canucks fan. 2) I am now fully convinced that Kesler's game is more suited to the wing. 3) Not sold on Booth. Booth + pick/prospect for Staal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If it comes to the absolute worst scenario, what about Luongo, Malhotra and a 2nd for Staal, Michalek and a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Kesler Raymond Ballard 1st in 2013 for Staal Letang Kesler is better than Staal at this point in time (though I think Staal will be the better player in the long run). Letang is worth more than Ballard, Raymond and a 1st. Canucks get a big prairie boy and a talented offensive dman. Pittsburgh gets a very good defensive and versatile player behind Malkin and Crosby. Raymond adds a much needed winger and Ballard adds defensive depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo Chili Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 put staal as 2nd line center and kesler as third line.. kesler is better fit as a defensive agitator who can score sometimes. Staal is better 2nd line that can score and PASSES to teammates. But with Kesler's cap hit and ego, he's not dropping to third line, so just trade him for staal, getzlaf, or weber.

The Ghost of Tom Joad Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 NYR and CAR will be looking to add to their Staal collection. Frankly, although, there is no disputing that Malkin is an elite player, and among the the top 3 offensive players in the league, I still think that Staal is a more complete player. Plus, Staal's cap hit is less than half of Malkin's. It would be more prudent to shed Malkin's salary, and get a king's ransom in return: a franchise 2-way dman to play with Letang; a top-6 forward and/or a depth forward to balance their lines (surely, they can acquire someone better than Dupuis or Kunitz to play with Crosby); and probably a high draft pick as well.

ice orca Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Staal for Raymond, Ballard and a 1st? ...Really though. I'd love to see Staal with the Canucks, but we'd need to give up Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 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...
Edlerberry Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 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...
Edlerberry Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 STAAL TO CAROLINA! Staal's up the middle = big win for Carolina, espescially if they dont give up ruutu/skinner up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Francis (CBC) suggests if Penguins were to shop Staal, they'll have to do it this summer, rather than mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricarboxylic Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 People, people! Vancouver needs a better D-men, not a young center! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesler'sselke Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 no harm done if we can have 2 selke center... i like to see staal here in Vancouver but what can we offer to get staal? another thing is if staal is unhappy in Pittsburg why would he be happy in Vancouver, he will likely to play behind kesler and sedin. unless you have a 2a and 2b line which wouldnt be too bad in my opinion..

gradin123 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If he wants to be a #1 Center it isn't going to happen here. I don't see any scenario where Staal comes to Vancouver. I think Winnipeg would be a logical landing spot for him. Staal 2nd Round Pick for Bogosian and 1st Round Pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
