Staal for Skinner or Staal for #8 pick, with a prospect if need be.
But Skinner AND the 8th pick? Hell no.
I understand the need to keep Eric happy. But Pittsburgh nailing us in a trade isn’t the way to do it.

” gunning for Staal”

a Mighty ducks reference? If so, major kudos for you, Joe

Did anyone else catch that?

Would also like them to take Paul Martin.”

If I was Shero I would as well stay away from prospects and just work on the now.

Last time I checked they do have some high rated prospects, but if I was Shero I would want more established players and maybe a prospect.

Pens may want to add Martin/Michalek (As a cap dump) to the deal to kill 2 birds with 1 stone (Obviously if they can get enough in return).

Steve Mason won the Calder and Sporting News Rookie of the Year.

I don’t see Skinner involved in any deal.

Huh, how about that.

I wonder if Marc wants out of New York?
