kanucks1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Doubt it would happen but Canucks need Scoring and Size and Pittsburgh needs some Defence. I'm Thinking: To Vancouver: James Neal. To Pittsburgh: Alex Edler and Nicklas Jensen Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think its fair value. I like neal. Dont want to give up on edler though. Really dont want to ship jensen out especially without a solid prospect coming back. Good proposal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Letang, Martin, Orpik, Murray, Coming up Despres, Maata, Harrington I dont think the problem is their defenseman, it,s more their offensive style of play. Kinda of like the Blackhawks. Except the Blackhawks have more supports from their goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Rather have a gritty 3rd line center. Edler and a 2nd or 3rd should do it. Edler and a 1st is an overpayment. I have qualms about believing any stat of a player playing with Malkin and Crosby. Just seems to easy to inflate ones stats. I.E; Kunitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangunner Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Would love james neal...don't see pens letting him go though. Luongo for a pick or prospect on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Murray is a pending UFA; and you forgot Niskanen Also Niskanen, Letang and Orpik are UFA at the end of next season, with Martin being a UFA at the end of the 2014-2015 season. You can't expect Maata, Pouliot, Harrington, Despres and Dumoulin to be ready to take over the ENTIRE defence is 2 years. With that being said - Pittsburgh is not trading Neal.

73 Percent Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Letang and Orpik will be re-sign not doubt about it. I wouldn't be surprise is Murray re-signs as well for cheap. They will have space since Morrow and Iginla are out, specially is they lose. Despres already played 50 games so he's ready to get a top 4 job. Add to that a veteran 5-6th defenseman via UFA probably and it's a respectable top 6 Letang-Niskanen Orpik-Despres UFA-Matta Harrington Dont get me wrong they could use Edler, but not at the cost of losing Neal.

timberz21 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 There is no guarantee that the Penguins will be able to resign Letang and Martin. Letang is gonna get paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 its not like edler would solve their defensive woes and drop their gaa .5 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Pittsburgh wouldn't trade Neal. But imagine a top unit of Edler-Letang. That would be filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Who else is gonna sign him? So he will leave the Pens to sign for a few more millions in Columbus? All the good team will have the same cap problems as the Pens, so I don't see him going anywhere. Parts of the Staal trade was exactly for that, to be able to resign Letang and Fleury. Now Fleury might actually be cheaper or traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Penguins need defence? Are you seriously joking me? They have one of the deepest defence in the NHL and that's not including their prospects. Paul Martin Brooks Orpik Douglas Murray Kris Letang Matt Niskanen Mark Eaton Deryk Engelland Simon Despres That's who's in their lineup now... Add prospects, there's more depth Scott Harrington Derrick Pouliot Olli Maatta Brian Dumoulin Robert Bortuzzo Phillip Samuelsson Nick D'Agostino Defence is not their problem.

timberz21 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Teams that likely will have interest: Detroit Toronto (Phaneuf and Komisarek are UFA) St Louis Florida Minnesota (Heatley, Pominville, Gilbert, Setoguchi, and Rupp are UFA) Buffalo NYR (only Staal is signed after next year) NYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
