Ian Esplen has a trade proposal that would see us trading Staal and our 1st and we would get back Higgins and Carolina's 1st as part of a 3 team trade.

Why would Shero even bother including Vancouver in on a 3 way deal?

You'll have to ask Ian. It's a ludicrous offer to say the least.

edit- and obviously Higgins is the centerpiece of this deal, that's why we need Van.

To get Higgins! Seriously gunner that was obvious.

I enjoy Travis' trade wars blogs, at least they are based in logic.

I would do Travis' proposal from a Penguins perspective. One of the few trades involving Staal that I can say that about.

I don't think Phoenix would though, there is no shot Staal would resign there. OEL is a really good player.

I agree, I don't think they would either. Truthfully, I would pull the trigger on that even without Vrbata being included, that's how highly I think of OEL.

Exactly!

that kid seems like the real deal. i understand we dont need more defensemen, but he is going to be a heck of a player. if we have to lose staal, regardless of need, he alone is quite a haul. he could probably be moved for a ton, or some other defensive part moved. that being said, i cannot see the yotes parting with him.

So David Jones signs a 4yr 16 mil deal with the AVS hes never put up more than 45 pts and last yr 37 pts and missed only 10games. Staal is worth 6-7mil/yr easy.

Time to go part.....

I don't know what is more ridiculous, that or the non sense of Richard Cloutier - Staal for Sam Gagner and a third? Both have no clue.

- Gunner Staal

OEL is going to be very good. Phoenix would be nuts to trade him. I think, if Staal to Phoenix happens (it won't), but I'd start with Boedker and go from there.

We r getting seto clutterbuck and 1st for staal and tk

Not sure why it won't post...

Setoguchi is only fractionally better than Kennedy. 36, 41, 36 are Setoguchi's last 3 seasons for points with 22 goals as his high. Your boy Dupuis is way better than him.

So, you want to trade one of the best two way forwards in the game and a 15-goal scorer for one of the most overrated players in the league (Seto) and a guy that only hits (Clutterbuck)? I love Clutterbuck, but this doesn't help much.

Seto is atleast a top 6 forward and paired with sid his numbers will increase. Clutter will help withgrit and a top 10pick could get us a decent winger prospect...

But i hear carolina is going to give the most for staal....

I really like the idea of having Setoguchi and Clutterbuck on the Pens. Those are two pieces that "we can keep" (salary wise) on our team..complimentary players.

I don't know what Carolina is offering but I'd be cool with the idea of at least getting Sutter/Gleason/pick. Skinner would be even better.

I'm sorry but no way can you justify paying 6-7mil for a 3rd line center while the best player in the world has Dupuis as a winger.

Got to be honest, not enthused about what Carolina has to offer.

Ive been saying i dont like what carolina has to offer for months!!!!

Id rather deal with minny edm or even maybe cbj....

Soooo what's new......


Where's all the twitter rumblings..... sid 10yrs for 9 .mil....I'll take it in a heartbeat

Edmonton makes no sense unless they are trading the top pick, which I think they should. They aren't really helping their glaring weaknesses by drafting Nail.

Columbus - I DON'T see a match. There really is nothing in the farm system and outside of two guys on the major league roster, there isn't a match.

Minnesota - only one guy interests me and its Clutterbuck. That said, I don't do a Staal for Clutterbuck and a first. Setogucchi doesn't interest me.

The teams I see a match - Phoenix, Chicago, Nashville, STL and maybe Winnipeg.
