I was kidding. BJ is a good backup like you said, but I also feel he is gone. I just hope theisen doesn't take his place. He was even worse.Originally Posted by mr4teth

Watching the Phoenix / Nashville game right now, and HOLY CRAP!! Both of these teams really know how to play defense. And the Phoenix goaltender is absolutely lights-out unbelievable!!
And Hal Gill is involved...go figure.

I haven't paid too much attention since the Pens have gone out, but the favorites to win the cup RIGHT NOW have to be the L.A. Kings.... taking out the Canucks in 5 and then sweeping the Blues... that's phenominal... the Blues were an incredible team this year...

Retarded, horrible move IMO.
I think he hurt both his own earnings potential, as well as the trade value... such a shame...
Although, i can't say i wasn't prepared... when he had a very good second half of the season i knew he was gone... There was no way they could continue to keep all 3 of the big centers on the team, and still fill the rest of the roster with quality talent.... and there's no way on earth that you can get rid of Malkin or Crosby - not while the Penguins are still a competitive team...
And i agree wiht the statement the writer made - i think the penguins are CRAZY to offer Staal $6M a year... he's not worth anywhere near that.... then again, Paul Martin isn't worth 5.5M either..

I agree. I do think that Staal has his best hockey ahead of him though. His old man should sell his sperm on ebay. They might even get that 6 mil. with 3 kids in the NHL.Paul Martin....big disappointment!
Stieny has to be unbelievably happy too.....
Not a bad trade overall. Staal to Carolina and ended up with #8 pic(defenseman Derrick Pouliot) from them along with center Brandon Sutter and defense prospect Brian Dumoulin.

As much as I liked what Staal had to offer, I was sort of relieved he did not accept the offer from the Pens. I would hate to see them mortgage their future with having so many players under long term contracts. What they got in return from trading Staal will only strengthen the depth of the team, Sutter is a decent two-way center, not Staal's caliber, but a worthy replacement. Pouliot's style of play has been compared to that of Kris Letang, and the guys on the NHL network are gushing about this pick. I guess time will tell.

good news.....

even thought its front-loaded, and you know that last couple years are only probably 600K as it currently stands, you gotta respect that they were able to work something out where the cap hit is only the same as what it is today... average 8.7M per year

Sure hope Sid can pay his bills.
Looks like Staal signed a 10 year extension starting 2013 with Carolina for $6mil/year.

And here goes Staal's money he could have gotten from the Pens. I like Zach but 10 year deal?

Parise would kill it here.

Would be interesting to see. I know they promised Sid a winger, is Parise that guy??
Neal and Malkin sure line up nicely, I'd love to see a 1-2 punch for next season.
But that still leaves a lot of questions on Defense!

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
