Maybe you should head some place where there's sunshine and thaw out a bit.

Hung like a button on a fur coat.

Staal is owed 21.2 million left in cash on his deal

I think a team would only like to pay around 6 million total to have him, like Tampa did with Girardi over two years

unfortunately, the max on someone's contract a team can hang onto is 50%

maybe next summer, if he isn't bought out and his NMC turns into a 15 team NTC, and this year's ridiculous 6 million salary is paid, maybe a team would take his last 3 years at 50% and be willing to be on the hook for around 8 million in total salary that would be left over those 3 years.

He isn't going anywhere this year, time to move on. I am beggin' ya Dundee

Its sad that Staal is probably worth more injured than he is worth available to play. I bet we could trade Staal if his cap was all on LTIR.

Back to reality ...how many 18 yr old's go straight to NHL and do well ,hold there own... 1st thing you will hear said center is "How fast everything has gotten"
%'s show not many make the transition .. not re inventing the wheel here....
Staal : as much as bloggies knock and kick him ..(new G man) the guy is a pedigree who is still atop 4 in lg. we have him penciled as a # 5-6 ..
Toronto is still looking for a top 4 ..why they bought in Marleau ? any one 's guess
why wouldnt Staal goin a deal... Travel $$$ is all it will take & a team ready to compete...Tor is all of that + send them 1 top prospect out of pool & 1 draft pick
NYR gets Bozak & JVR... best deal i can find thats got reality built in...
both teams gain alot of what both needs now.....
Av's are a compelling deal for Dukey?..... Duche?could get him for a pkg of prospects & picks ...
either way if we see an 18 yr old looking lost out there on the ice ...
tell em Manny sent ya ..........................

Reality is if AV decides he can play he will. Not his age or what you or I think matters.

Has been the coldest/ wettest summer in 20+ years in Oslo. I've taken trips to London and Spain

Maybe they can make Hayes the 4th line C and Andersson can take over the #2.

Oh well.

More important things to do than get mad on an internet hockey forum. Well unless you bring QuickSF here, I will go nuclear.

This means we can talk however we want about Kreider.
