As s 5/6 for Tampa. I disagree.

Not sure why they are hard after him though.

They have a great Right side.

Tampa taking that contract to be a 5/6? Come now.

There's significant interest from some top teams in Minnesota's Eric Staal. He has a strategic 10-team no-trade list, can become UFA July 1. Wild GM Paul Fenton has a tough decision to make.


I wouldn't mind him here
- Stripes77

I liked the idea yesterday.

Wait for the sh@t storm shooting that option down.

Adam? Mentioned he had played with both skins and pommer.

Good #2 center. Maybe he likes buffalo and resigns July 1st

Chances are nil that Buffalo even entertains a trade for him. Buffalo won't give up assets for a rental. And he's definitely a rental.

If Minn is selling, I hope Botts is looking at coyle. Another year on his deal and he plays RW and C, our two worst positions imo

I’d hope Botts looks elsewhere.


I mean there is other teams besides StL, Pitt, and Minny to trade with.

Of course, but coyle would be a pretty damn nice improvement over Sobotka

I think that for a player who is in Minnesota a team like Buffalo would be okay for them.

It's the guys in cities on the sunny west coast that so thanks but no thanks

We await with bated breath.....

Staal’s close to home in Minny.


If Buffalo had a legitimate Cup shot, sure. They don’t so I’d still bet they’re on his list.

Meh.


They both stink.
- dadeadhead

They both stink? You sure you watch hockey?

1 stinks and the other doesn’t. I’ll let you figure out who it is.

Bob McKenzie echoes what everyone that doesn't live under a rock knows. He believes Botterill is seeking a long term hockey deal, wants to improve the team to keep in the playoff race and won't deal assets for the short term. As said by Botterill himself previously. Moving on.
