Damn, you're right. Oh well...

Agreed. Kopitar is a budding star. But bringing a Kovalchuk type of player to LA would be huge for them. They need to start taking on Anaheim again....
Yes, LA is my other team I follow...

People forget, many of these major trades that have happened lately, the team trading the best player does not always get equal talent. A lot of times the team trading the best player (especially a rebuilding team) is trading for potential. This is why Staal and someone else makes sense. I could see Staal/Kennedy, etc being moved for a major talent.
I think Staal is going to be a good player in this league and a future captain for some team, but I don't think he's ever going to accomplish any of this while playing for the Penguins.
Staal, a 1st and one of Kennedy or someone else definitely gets Kovalchuk +.

It's not the way to run a team. Dumping players because the make money makes no sense (Gill, Satan). Dumping players because they don't fit in with the team makes sense (Sydor). The grass isn't always greener.
Don't forget that Gonchar's salary doesn't count because he's on the long term injury list.

It doesnt' count while he's hurt, but once he returns, his full cap hit is in effect. Longterm IR is designed to allow teams to replace players WHILE they are hurt, not once they return.

Henry Hank wrote:Right, it'll be his full cap hit for the period of time that he's active. That should be about one month, which amounts to ~$1 million. Last year, the Avs signed Forsberg to a $5 million deal I believe but the cap hit was much less because he only played a couple months. The Pens probably will have an extra $6 million to work with because of the injuries to Whitney and Gonchar. I hope they get themselves in the Sundin sweepstakes. He's not the savior the media makes him out to be, but he's a good player that can be had without having to give up assets.

This guy said this thread is bogus, as he heard Feaster say nothing about a Major deal between Pittsburgh & Atlanta:

It doesn't seem like we have any good training partners for Staal.
