Dave Bolland, Nick Hjalmarsson, Shawn Lalonde for Jordan Staal would work well for both teams.

I think Homer is a very good GM (long term contracts are his Achilles)...The Bryz signing was a good attempt to solve a problem...It didn't work out and now it's time to cut losses and find another net-minder...

But what I'm asking is... Is bob good? I mean I thought he was your guy.... And who do you ship him off too? Oilers? Leafs?

Kulemin Kadri 1st in 2013 Franson for Staal
- MapleLeafs4eva


Right on cue ... so basically, the first in 2013 and either failed prospects or players who have regressed.

There isn't a match for Toronto to get him.

Burke would not take on that length of contract.

I would take kesler over staal any day of the week. Kesler is closer to winning a selke and is ALOT more proven offensively than staal. I'm not saying staal isn't good because he's a perfect fit for any team, but I can tell you now if someone trades from him they are gonna overpay no doubt

Do you really think you would get more than that lot for Staal? A guy who has never scored more than 50 points in a season? Don't get me wrong, I feel he is a good player with a great defensive side, but that offer is actually a lot more than I would consider offering up.

the pens should trade crosby. malkin showed his dominance this season and crosby is a risk with his head exploding. then keep staal. staal can be their no. 2 and they could get a boatload of a return for crosby. and save money too.

Just making it into the playoffs should not be the GM;s attempts. The goal should be to build a contender, and I do not think Bryz is that goalie. Look at the system he had in Phoenix. Tippet was a defense first coach, and he was not good in the playoffs.

I agree with you. Even consdering Sid's injury history, they could still pull in a King's ransom for him and considering he is also done at the end of 2013-14, they could shore up some serious prospects/picks and still have a great 2nd line C in Staal.

I expect a package more than crap on crap on crap ... failed Toronto prospect on regressed Toronto player. He was on pace for a 30-goal season if not for him missing 20 games. His offensive skills are coming. Remember, how old is he?

Yeah trade Crosby when you can afford him because another player had a good season. Did you listen to yourself before you wrote this? I am not willing to part with Staal for spare parts. I'd prefer to keep him and take my chances of signing him. The kid plays a shutdown role and may have eclipsed 40 goals and 80 points this year had he played a full season. Not to mention he is like 6"5 200 and something pounds and only 23 years old.
