I wanted to revisit this trade for a bit.

Jordan Staal is currently centering the second line of the Carolina Hurricanes with Jeff Skinner and Zac Dalpe flanking him...

Brandon Sutter is currently centering the third line of the Pittsburgh Penguins with Matt Cooke and Eric Tangradi as his linemates.

You can compare stats and Jordan Staal heavily wins that category (Staal: 5 assists), (Sutter: 1 assist). However the better comparison is the overall production of the line an the +/-. Currently Sutter's +/- is at 0 and Staal's is at -2.

However the production of the line's tells the true story. The second line of the Carolina Hurricanes has accounted for five goals as where the third line of the Pittsburgh Penguins has accounted for a big fat 0 goals. Now after all the Sutter line doesn't have the talent that the Staal line has. However, even the line of Jussi Jokinen, Patrick Dwyer, and Drayson Bowman has even accounted for a goal.

With that said, the Carolina Hurricanes have currently received the better end of the bargain. We will eventually revisit this thread, especially when Dumoulin finally makes the jump.

      I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
