In my opinion, the #3C is the greater priority....by far.
Duchene or Kevin Hayes would work for me if the price was reasonable.
I want any deal the Bruins do done prior to Monday if at all possible
Honestly I wouldn't mind a staal and Coyle package if it doesn't drain our system. Addresses a lot of needs and Fenton looks like the quite reasonable Gm from all accounts.
Staal was adamant about his willingness to stay in Minnesota following Thursday's practice.
"The way I see it: We're in a playoff spot, and I plan on making the playoffs … here," Staal told Russo. "My goal is to be here - hopefully not somewhere else - and to help us win a playoff spot and continue on."
Report: Eric Staal's no-trade list 'vastly populated' with contenders
....cross Staal off the list
Maybe...but if the Bruins and Vancouver are aware he has no heart for it...they may take a pass. There's a note in that article that says after his last deadline trade he stunk.Theirs ways around that though. Stall has a ten team list, but that still leaves at least six more teams who are going to get in and a handful more battling for a playoff spot, who Staal can be traded too.
So lets say Fenton says Eric I have two trades one is, I have you going to Vancouver who may or may not make the playoffs and their not on your list the other deal has you going to the Bruins along with Granland, who are trying to win a Cup but their on your list,your choice where do you want to go?

Guess we'll have to wait (and wait and wait and wait and wait) and see.I don't think that's in his DNA. He may not like the fact that he was traded but not to many NHLers do and I'd have no doubt he would give it his all no matter where he ended up.
A trade to Vancouver was hypothetically speaking. Switch the team to Buffalo hypothetically of course.Maybe...but if the Bruins and Vancouver are aware he has no heart for it...they may take a pass. There's a note in that article that says after his last deadline trade he stunk.

Yes... but lets give Frederic and Kuhlman a few games 1st
Frederic starting to pick it up
I'll disagree with you on Frederic. There's nothing I've seen that's remotely close to showing me he's ready to center a line in the playoffs.
As for Staal, if we are going the rental route, I'd prefer it would be for a rental that we'd actually have some desire to re-sign over the summer. He's the same age as Backes.
Interesting thought... Fills two needs.I wonder what it would take to get Nugent-Hopkins and Kassian from Edmonton?
What no Pulju.....I wonder what it would take to get Nugent-Hopkins and Kassian from Edmonton?
Then your definition of a Playoff Warrior is drastically different than mine.Age aside, Staal is a playoff warrior..... Age is irrelevant, what I think is more important is the amount and kind of injuries that
they've each had and the amount of time missed due to said injuries, and oh yeah what are their playoff records?
