I guess the more you think about it the deal is possible.

Kunitz, Scuderi, Pouliot or sprong and a 2nd/murray should actually be close to getting the deal done if E Staal has a ntc. Would be the Iginla situation all over again.

But I'm not a fan of giving up our few remaining assets for a rental especially when defense is a bigger problem.

From my sources close to this situation i am hearing that Carolina really likes Derrick Pouliot. So the trade i am hearings is.

Carolina gets Derrick Pouliot, Daniel Sprong, 2nd, and Patric Hornqvist

Pit gets Eric

This will allow Carolina to flip some of their high D prospects for some fowards

Soooo let's get this straight.....

Pittsburgh trades Jordan Staal to Carolina to be with his brother. Acquired by Jim Rutherford - GM of the Hurricanes at the time.

Then Rurtherford becomes the GM of Pittsburgh.

And now Rutherford will acquire the OTHER Staal brother - Eric - and leave Jordan Staal in Carolina all alone with nothing but his incredible rich and horrible team.

This sounds like a spanish soap that dishes out odd hockey rumors

Pens should be better. Period.

Give a team McDavid and Eichel and see where they are in 10 years.... if it's not elite that's sad

What a pile of BS. Pittsburgh currently has no players on LTIR. No way in hell you can get E. Stalls cap hit in Pitts even at the trade deadline unless you can peddle off crap. Carolina isn't taking back a bunch of aging vets; crap, making to much money. Their bleeding & losing millions annually. Pittsburgh has virtually no prospects & have already shipped out next years 1st to Toronto in the Kessel trade; conditional, & 2nd in the Winnik trade last year.

Why would Carolina take any crap from Pittsburgh when teams will actually move solid prospects & picks when the time comes & E. Staal is auctioned off. Pittsburgh simply doesn't have the assets to buy E. Stall.

Ek your really losing credibility with me. I'm still waiting for this imminent trade you said Anaheim was making 10 days ago. I looked up imminent in Websters. Happening very soon. What's very soon for you, or imminent as you claimed?

Crosby for Staal? With the way Sid is playing the Pens would be smart to dump that contract ASAP. He looks completely uninspired. Like he has just given up.

Ek is it also true Pittsburgh will acquire Stamkos, Getzlaf and the Sedin sisters all for their next eight 6th round picks? Plus Suter and Parise are on the move again demanding trades to the Pens! Wild will except Dupuis and 2 members of the ice girls squad in exchange.

Do you just wake up everyday and draw teams blindly from a hat and then say that their best player with usually a high cap hit and predict they will be traded to usually a team with cap issues. If so your doing a wonderful job. And might want to consider being a weatherman with your crazy predictions.

HORNQVIST WOULD HAVE TO BE A PART OF THIS TRADE, MAYBE SCUDERI AS WELL IF CAROLINA IS WILLING TO TAKE HIM. DRAFT PICKS WOULD HAVE TO BE PART OF IT AS WELL AND PENS DON'T HAVE MANY.
