Proposal: Staal to Pens?

[cwede]

i haven't posted a trade proposal thread here before, but this struck me as a potential fit

Pitt has been inconsistent, but still has their Cup winning core
and they have been hit by some D injuries within last few days

Staal has no-move, but has deep history with Sullivan as his coach,
and 3 playoff runs on Crosby/Malkin/Letang teams under Sully may be tempting to him at this later stage of his career

Marc Staal, 30-40% retained, to Pens
Bjorkqvist plus lesser prospect(s) - Reilly, Angello, i dunno, i dont really know anything about Pitt's guys

probably won't happen, but seems a more realistic potential way out of Staal's contract than some other ideas ...

I think you'd have to petition the league to allow the Rangers to retain 75% on his contract before you'd be able to move him and get anything of any worth back.

They already have Jack Johnson as an overpaid plug dman why would they want another?
