This does not affect the Staal situation at all. - Gunner Staal
as an outsider how do you figure? Could they not sign him all the while |

The question in play is what role does he want? If he is dead set on being a top 6 center it doesnt matter what the money is. If he is OK with whatever role the Penguins are offering than they will find the room for him. |

Now Ek has a blog saying Staal for Yandle. Love Yandle but again, not the type of defenseman we need. We have enough flash, we need some bruisers. |

Not to mention the Coyotes arent going to trade their stud defensemen signed long term for 1 year of Staal. |

But even without looking at it from the other teams perspective, why would we trade for more puck moving defenemen? That's not an organizational need. If we end up getting a Yandle/Keith/Suter I will expect a Letang trade announcement shortly after, can't see any other reason to aquire one of these guys. |

Isn't Yandle's cap hit north of 5 mil? If so, why would we trade for someone so similar to Letang and who would have the same cap hit (maybe a little less) than resigning Staal? No sense. |

To Coyotes Staal & Fleury. To Pens Yandle and Nash. To Columbus Fleury +. Done deal.
BTW this is a complete joke. Sorry for the confusion... |

Im not trading Fleury. How quick we forget how great he was in 2010-2011 and mostly all of this season until the Martin collision. A lot of people are saying that MAF was overworked (and that may be true) but I really think the Martin collision played a big role in things. Look at the struggles Ryan Miller had after Lucic collision. Miller played much better towards the end of the year, when I believe the cobwebs went away. |

So Fleury is going to play for the Coyotes and Blue Jackets concurrently? What happens when they play each other? |

Very impressed. I dont think this was on anybody's radar. Bylsma can rest Fleury whenever he wants now and provides injury insurance like you said.
Fleury is the guy and will always be the guy, nothing will change that. - Gunner Staal
He IS the guy BUT he lacks consistency at times it is needed most. Reminds me of a nervous horse at the starting gate. I like him BUT his problem is consistency. I hope some day he can achieve that goal.
Glad Sid is feeling "great."
Happy to see Vokun here. I think he will do fine here. |
