IMHO, I'd do this trade in a second. Kane >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Staal
I'm amazed Pens fans think Staal is a superstar 1st line center, when in reality he is a good 2nd line center at best.

Untouchable.
That's not the spirit.

if by "attitude" you mean "drinking problem" then you're darn tootin'!
I like Kane as a player (though I like Staal in his current role better) but he is just 1 Jager Bomb away from wrapping his car around a pole and taking an innocent life with him. not worth the headache, imo.

The way I look at it is that a trade isn't always good for a team just because they get the better player. In Staal, the Penguins have a huge workhorse who plays the PK, can play the power play, and who is a clutch performer. His peak game in terms of offense isn't to the level of Kane's peak performance in terms of offense -- but he provides a lot of things Kane doesn't/can't. In a vaccuum, the deal is highway robbery for the Penguins. In reality, the Penguins would get a small player with off-ice baggage and a big salary for a huge player with no off-ice baggage (save for one incident years ago that was more about being a kid than being cocky/arrogant) and a smaller salary.

Baggage.

It's funny though. You said it yourself. If it's "robbery" for the Pens why would Chicago even make this trade? This is so stupid.
