Darren Dreger on TSN: "Jordan Staal turned down a contract in the neighbourhood of 10-years, 60mil"

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wow, 6M a year for Staal? Man that is a horrendous deal.

 

[Krishna]

He probably wants out and is tired of playing in the shadow of Malkin and Crosby


If he does, it will make it easier for us to beat them as they'd have no shutdown center

Hoping for this.

Dreger says it was just a test

Pens fans

To them, a .904 SV PCT is elite in the playoffs.

 

[Krishna]

The hell..

Do pens fans not realize that they can't get the world for Staal?

Someone just posted Staal for Yandle in a 1 for 1 deal..

Or my favorite :


To Pittsburgh:
Bobby Ryan
Brandon Sutter
Justin Faulk
UFA Rights to Bryan Allen

To Carolina:
Jordan Staal
Paul Martin
Anaheim's 2012 3rd Round Pick

To Anaheim:
Carolina's 2012 1st Round Pick (8th Overall)
Pittsburgh's 2013 1st Round Pick
Beau Bennett
Tyler Kennedy

Parise to Colorado?

Good get out of the East..

Zach Parise, the prize of the upcoming NHL free agency period, has agreed to a trade to the Colorado Avalanche. This rumor is coming from Eurolanche.com, which has been known to break big rumors in the past on the Avalanche.

[Prongo]

Hmm maybe they get both Suter and Parise. Detroit might not be too happy about that.

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

I'm fairly certain this was discredited by Colorado writers last night...

Are the writers credible though? But again my bad if the discrediting is actually valid..

Don't know.

There was more in the Parise thread (Trade Forum) last night, but it seems the moderators had to do a bit of housecleaning.

The Devils fans seem pretty certain that Parise and his agent have a meeting with Lou L. on Monday, and that there is absolutely zero chance he gets dealt before then (which seems a plausible position--one last, take-it-or-leave-it before July 1 offer, etc.).

So there are rumors that Visnovsky will go to the KHL next year

 

[Vikke]

There were. He said himself yesterday that his intentions are to play in the NHL next season.

Pavelec signed a 5 year deal with a cap hit of 3.9m

Pavelec signed a 5 year deal with a cap hit of 3.9m

That's a great deal for a young, top-end goaltender.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The radio is informing me that Adam Oates is the new Caps coach.

Yeah, heard that this morning too.

Good for him. Always an Adam Oates fan.

Shane O'Brien re-signs in COL for 3 years.


This has me really excited, not as a fellow S. O'Brien, but so that I don't have to see any offseason proposals to acquire a terrible defenseman.
