I think signing Staal to a 3 year deal with an aav of 4.5 would not be bad. Anything more would be ludicrous.

I heard Cizikas murdered some kid in a game of rugby. Since then, I've lost all respect for him...

To be fair, Yakupov is a solid player who A) is at the bottom of a depth chart full of riches and B) earned a reputation while playing under perennial jack adams contender Dallas Eakins.

This is still a guy who led rookies in goal scoring. At worst, which he probably is now, he is a 15-20 goal, 30-40 pt player

Imagine this guy on Tavares' wing
- DeflatedPucks

I don't want to imagine a 30-40 point player on JT's wing, we''ve already tried that with numerous guys. Realistically i would trade a 7th rd pick for Yakupov, i honestly believe this kid is just a colossal bust

Good luck with that, Ottawa should not do anything of the sort.

I don't think Staal's contract is terrible. A legit 2C for $6M isnt all that bad. I get the term is long but a shut down center with offensive upside will still be a tradeable commodity in 4-5 years.

Hell, even if the Pens season end in a cup win, I would still try to trade Malkin for Staal + if they want to move on from him. Crosby-Staal-Bonino is still the best center group in the league.

Eric Staal in Ottawa makes sense for a number of reasons.

It makes no sense.

Eric Staal for 4m at 3-4 yrs is scary but may be worth it

Paul Holmgren agrees.

Yeah. Pulled a full-sized shotgun out of his rugby shorts and shot him directly in the face.

Crazy.

you guys want some lupul?

would go good with a radulov long-term signing

No thanks... on both accounts

And I heard he had to perform community service at the local NRA convention

The family didn't even blame Cizikas...
just the crown Prosecutor.

Yakupov either ends up in Montreal or a team ready to buy low on forwards (typically NJ or Carolina)

Radulov will most likely end up in Detroit. He's been there already a couple times and I know Kenny is trying to buy low on a potential 25 goal guy....

should be a very busy off season for a lot of these "rumoured" teams

NRA in Canada? Interesting. Which "state" was he in?

Yeah. Pulled a full-sized shotgun out of his rugby shorts and shot him directly in the face.

Better that than pulling another full sized object out of his shorts and killing him with a direct shot to the face.

Depends. If enough time had elapsed between shots the velocity alone might have killed him.

Radulov and Therrien, match made in heaven

Edit: Bergevin is stupid enough to do it though

Could you imagine, John Tortorella and Radulov (and throw in Brooksie for good measure)...?
