I can hope he goes to the Flyers haha, also saw that Staal turned down a 10 year extension (can read it on NHL.com) so it looks like they either have to trade him, or he could test free agency where I don't see the penguins being able outbid teams with all the high priced players they have, so if they can't get the extension done, you'd have to think they would HAVE to trade him, and not risk losing him for nothing.

Read that Staal refuse to sign a 10 year deal with the pens, wonder where this leads to.

Be interesting to see what Staal could fetch in return, rumors are he wants to play along side Eric in Carolina. He could get traded tomorrow even, who knows.

I'm hoping to the Leafs. They need a centre and he would fit well.

My predictions for the top 5 draft picks:
1) Edmonton Oilers select Nail Yakupov
2) Columbus Blue Jackets select Ryan Murray
3) Montreal Canadians select Mikhail Grigorenko
4) New York Islanders select Mathew Dumba
5) Toronto Maple Leafs select Alex Galchenyuk

Not sure i would want anyone on the Leafs tbh, what would you be willing to give up?

Who knows that Burke could pull to get Staal. I know we have a few players that look to be shipped out, including Luke Schenn who is a young D-man with a lot of potential. It will be interesting to see what happens with Staal.

Yay Galchenyuk to les glorieux ^_^

This makes me very happy.

And there goes Staal, seems like a good trade for both teams, and shall be interesting to see the Staal brothers on the same line, and free's up room for the Penguins to go after Zach Parise so good move for them, surprised Filip Forsberg hasn't went yet, interesting to see where he goes.

I think that was a silly move on the part of Carolina. Sure they scored a big player, but still.

Shero is offering a big contract to Parise on July 1, Parise is really good friends with Crosby. I doubt Shero would make these moves if he felt signing Parise wasn't a very good possibility. If the Parise deal happens, the Pens are obviously the big winners of the offseason. Biased? Maybe, but whatever.
