Well we got our Big Boy!! like the pick I know a bunch of you loved him. the trade is a decent trade... it was one of the "cap trades" we knew they would make. His cap hit is over 2 mill more than he is getting paid. He is a good player though..
- niteislander

Yep. But, I think we as fans can tolerate that more when at least it's a player with a good reputation, not one where the other team's fans are dancing in the streets because they got rid of him.

HOLY poop! Jordan Staal to carolina. God I love the draft.

Cant wait to see the Cane vs Isle this yr in Raleigh. I doubt I'll be getting Ice level seats for $15 this yr.

LOL PITTSBURGH

Wow if forsberg drops anymore... Garth make that trade

Maybe we can trade back up into the first and still get my boy Grigorenko

do you guys think isles will make trades to get a first round pick to get dumba or grig or forsberg? Since pitt did this so why not?

False.

He also used to be a little shy with his physical work and got the label of a timid big man. While he isn't a crash and bang killer on the back end, he uses his body just fine now and I don't have any reservations from projection a high-end physical game from him at the highest level.

I was intially excited about drafting him before we did, read a bit one him and was immediatley thinking the kid has size. Wasn't happy when I read he didn't utilize it. Them announcing that he didn't use his body enough after the pick didn't help.
