I can see the Penguins trying to get Jordan Staal back. It's been tough to replace him since he left.

 

 According to Josh Rimer of sportsnet.com the Pittsburgh Penguins may look to reacquire Jordan Staal in the offseason.

 

Personally, Jordan is my favorite of the two Staal brothers and if we were going to trade Jordan then Eric would have to be involved in the trade as well.  If that was the case I would take nothing less than Evegeni Malkin.

 

All joking aside, if there was a deal to be made; I'd ask for Sutter and Maatta. We gave up Sutter, Dumo, and a very high first round pick (Derrick Pouliot) the first go around; and in my mind Maatta is equal to Dumo and Pouliot.

 

There's probably not a deal to be made, but we'd have to give quite a bit back for our best two-way forward.

btw, this is why you don't have brothers on a team unless you're like the Sedin's who are actually elite players. They know the GM will do anything to keep them. They have the upper hand in contract talks. Then a new GM comes in and has to fix this mess.

Give me Dumo and Jussi (since he will probably resign with Pittsburgh), and you got a deal. Or just Sutter and Maata.

Really, any 2 man combination of the above 4 is fair in my book. Problem is, I doubt Pitt wants Jordan's contract. What's his cap hit?

I actually want to give the Staal's one more chance because if we blow it up we are going to be at least three years away from competing. 

 

So after hiring Dan Bylsma,

 

- The first step is to get Sutter back. Sutter is an RFA as is Tlusty so basically we need to swap rights... we'd probabky have to throw in a second.

 

- Secondly, I would let Bowman, Dvorak, and Bellemore go.

 

- Then I would re-sign Gerbe (2 mil), Loktionov (1 mil), Malhotra (1 mil), Hainsey (2 mil), and Pitkanen (2 mil)

 

- After that I would trade Nash,Harrison, and a 4th for a third liner like Chris Higgins.

 

- The next move would be to draft Virtanen (700K) who at the time I would slot on the second line with Jordan.

 

- To address the defense I would sign Andrei Markov (4 mil)

 

- Finally, I would sign Brian Elliot (2 mil) to be our back-up goalie.

 

- Oh and Trade Ward for some picks since I traded a few of ours away.

 

Skinner - E. Staal - Semin

Virtanen - J. Staal - Lindholm

Higgins - Sutter - Dwyer

Gerbe - Malhotra - Loktionov

McGinn

 

Faulk - Sekera

Markov - Pitkanen (if healthy)

Hainsey - Liles

Murphy

 

Khudboin

Elliot

 

This is also just for fun, but that first line would put up mad points and the second line could also do some damage if Lindholm turns the corner in the offseason. The third line is perfect in my opinion because you have your grinders in Sutter and Dwyer and a capable goal scorer in Higgins and finally not many fourth lines have a 30 point player like Gerbe.

 

I also think the defense could be pretty special if Pitkanen is indeed healthy.

 

All of these moves would put us right at the cap.

I'm getting tired of Eric Staal's piss poor attitude. When things aren't going good, he goes into pouting mode and just gets lazy and doesn't care about what he's doing anymore. He should be traded or at least have the C taken off his chest.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Not sure I completely agree but it's a pretty accurate list

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
