KyleMakesConcepts Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Incase any of you did not know, the Pittsburgh Penguins have stated that they are open to trading away Jordan Staal. Where to, nobody knows. The favorite right now, if he is to be traded, is Carolina, to play with his brother Eric. The thing is, does Carolina really have anything to trade? After looking at their roster, they really don't have much to trade, maybe they could trade Ruutu or Jokinen? I doubt it. Staal would probably be a 3rd line center in Carolina (behind his brother and Skinner, although I thought Skinner was a winger), and Staal wants out of Pittsburgh so he can move out of the 3rd line center position. Another team interested in Jordan Staal is the Buffalo Sabres. I've heard rumors about Staal coming to Buffalo in exchange for Derek Roy and a pick. This would be a good deal for both teams. It gives Roy, who had an underachieving season last year, a change of scenery, and it gives the Sabres a clear cut number one center, something they have needed for a while. One last rumor I have heard is Jordan Staal going to the Edmonton Oilers along with Pittsburgh's first or second round pick, for the first overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. It gives the Oilers a center, but they already have Nugent-Hopkins and Gagner. Overall, I could see Jordan Staal becoming a Buffalo Sabre at the start of the 2012-13 season, so he can be something he really wants to be, a 1st line center. What are your opinions on where Staal will go? One does not simply beat the Buffalo Sabres... oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 If the Blues ownership situation gets resolved as it should soon, they may be interested. Will depend on the asking price. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 He probably won't go anywhere.But we also have an offseason thread for this.I'll say to get him to Calgary i'll give up Jarome Iginla. Straight up.

frontsfan93 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I can see him in Toronto next year. The price will probably be our first this year and a prospect or current roster player. wishful thinking: Phaneuf and a 1st for stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the current roster, maybe Stewart or Berglund. I'm just throwing out options. I don't know if they would, I don't know if they should.

The_Admiral Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hawks are horribly thin at center and could use Jordan Staal more than any other team I can think of offhand, because most teams in the league bother to have an actual #2 center. Unfortunately, he'd probably cost us far too much, far more than just Stalberg+pick+prospect or whatever, and besides, most GMs won't trade with the Blackhawks anyway because they once dared to fire a general manager for gross incompetence, which apparently you aren't allowed to do when said general manager is old and avuncular and played hockey once, so now our players have to get offer-sheeted and phone calls have to go unreturned. Such is life, I guess. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'm sure HFBoards.com Leafs fans are suggesting Staal to Toronto for Mike Komisarek and a 5th round pick.... On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It would be interesting to see if he can end up playing with one of his brothers. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Well, the Hurricanes are one of those teams that has been operating with no readily apparent purpose for the last few years, as most recently evidenced by fielding a terrible team and then doling out extensions to numerous members of that terrible team rather than trade them for future assets. For Jim Rutherford to acquire Jordan Staal would mean he would have to be cognizant of the fact that the Carolina Hurricanes are a member of the National Hockey League and not just some weird insular vanity project for a dude with a skullet, and I'm not convinced that he is. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might do it just for the brothers thing. Cuz brothers playing together sounds cool.He'd probably be unaware of any actual hockey benefits though.

evanmaldonado Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 To Cbus for Mason and Methot. But really, I doubt Staal's going anywhere. Probably Shero's way Of lighting a fire under his ass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMakesConcepts Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Sabres arguably have the weakest center core in the league, and I don't mean player skill, I mean someone who can actually WIN A FACEOFF! Roy's a good player, but the Sabres would rather Staal after the season Roy put up. One does not simply beat the Buffalo Sabres... oh wait.

Probably Shero's way Of lighting a fire under his ass...Jordan Staal is a top-six center on a third line only because the depth chart includes Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Either through his own demands or through the workings of the market, he can't stay with the Penguins forever. Best to move him now when you can get something in return, rather than losing him in unrestricted free agency when his asking price goes through the roof. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's a good player, but the Sabres would rather Staal after the season Roy put up.I'll argue that.Flames have had the weakest centre crop for almost 15 years. When the biggest names you've had are Craig Conroy, Daymond Langkow and Olli Jokinen. You have a problem. Also being dead last in faceoff percentage for the last I don't even know how many years also is a big indication on how terrible your centre play has been. Somehow Iggy's scored 500 goals. He's a hell of a player. Â JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
