He can only sign a short term deal any how, not sure if it's a one or two year deal, but he's limited as far as term and salary, but can have bonuses added.

Maybe next summer they can sign both brothers to extensions

Thought it was max 2 years

What would you like to see happen with Staalx2

They'll play on the same line.

I think it is, but I'm not 100% sure.

Should be 2-years, that's what Schultz got at age 22. (and Wheeler)

They'll play on the same line.
- BINGO!

What about long term?

I think I'd pass if offered

If he's looking for a NHL roster spot out of the gates he won't even get that here, not in my humble opinion.

I think that would depend on what would happen in camp. I don't know what side he plays, but the Flyers aren't exactly deep in LW's.

What are we even talking about? I don't know. I've done zero backreading.

Oh I thought it was the Hayeseseses

Never mind then.

Hard to see a situation where Marc doesn't sign. Then E.Staal re-signs for probably the same rate he's at now, and we wins da everything please.

- BINGO!

Unlike Rutherford, I don't think Francis feels the need to do anybody any favors. Doubt he makes a deal for M.Staal unless the Canes look like they legitimately have a shot at the post-season. He'll just wait it out.

I'd be fine with that. Getting Staal away from the Rangers would be good news.

Do you guys have a division order or even a league order of which you think are the strong to weak teams this season so far? I think we're a bubble team both with our division and the league.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if the Flyers made the playoffs or ended up picking in the top 8-14

A good start would be a huge help. I don't think they can overcome a start like last season...of course, Giroux should be healthy out of the gate.

Between upgrading the D and highering a new Coach, I think Washington is gonna be good. I think the Devils are a possible sleeper. The Penguins are still making the playoffs but man have they lost some personnel.

I think the Devils will be better because they lost Brodeur and Volchenkov, allowing Schneider and Gelinas to play more. Cammalleri's not an overly popular guy, but he can provide offense. I think Hartnell instead of Umberger improves the Jackets & he could have a good year with Johansen.

I think the Pens are still the best regular season team in the division, and I think Hornqvist can come close to replacing Neal's production. They still have holes, but they're still very talented.

The Caps are an absolute crapshoot to me. I think they'll either be really good or terrible. I'm OK with the Niskanen addition, really like Trotz for them, but I hate the Orpik deal.

I feel the division is very fluid and wouldn't be surprised at anything, outside of Pittsburgh missing the playoffs.
