You are acquiring two Swedes into the lineup. When was the last time Pittsburgh has had two Swedes in the lineup, let alone one.

Nils Ekman! haha

I was expecting something better

Keep on adding names ... before you know it, Crosby and Toews will be in the discussion

Maybe we should just do Toews for Staal. I mean, obviously Chicago would do that seeing as how Staal was drafted a spot ahead of him.

If the Penguins are willing to part with Jordan Stall...why not trade for Nash? Columbus is in a position where they're gonna have to get rid of him anyways for way less than what he's worth, I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to get a giant two-way center who can dominate any situation....and imagine a Penguins powerplay with Crosby, Nash and Neil on forward, and Letang and Malkin on point.

I'm not sure you can fit Nash into the equation cap wise with Crosby, Malkin, Neal, et al there. Do that, and its inevitable that you have to make a choice between Crosby and Malkin - who to resign.

Nash would look real good in a pens sweater but not as good as 71 & 87. I'd say if I were Shero Staal and Martin are a package deal. Ha Ha wonder if anyone would bite. Is 11 good enough to make you take on Martin's contract?

Adding Martin and his 5 million for the next three years detracts from the return. However, I don't think he would be as bad in Columbus. He needs a change of scenery. He has demonstrated that he could be a very good blueliner before, so ...

Martin is a good player but is overpaid, that's all. He's worth 3.5 - 4 million at most. We'll find a trade partner eventually. I bet there are at least 5-6 teams that would take him.
