Penguins Still Leaving Room For One
The Pittsburgh Penguins have put Miroslav Satan on waivers. This move leads me to believe that they are making room and clearing space to make a deadline move today. It wouls seem that the player that will gain the most interest from other teams is young center Jordan Staal. The Pens have signed Staal to a four year deal this year, thus suring up the young centers status for the next few seasons.
Jordan Staal is a hometown favorite, and expected to become an all-star caliber player. Would the Pens trade Staal.
Many fans last year did not expect Colby Armstrong to be dealt, he was also a fan favorite and he was close to Sidney Crosby. I don’t think Staal is untouchable, however I cannot see a deal the Pens can make that will imporve their slim chances at making another Stanly Cup Finals Run.
Ray Shero so far has looked like a savior. The Hossa Deal last year proved he can make the tough decisions. The Chris Kunitz deal this year showed he can make trades that give immediate returns. I am not sure if he wants to press his luck and deal away Staal and his potential for just a small chance of getting to the big show again this year.
