That contradicts your "phoenix aren't shopping him" - sentium Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:21:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21377 sorry I could "not" agree more - pattywins Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:13:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21376 I could agree more about the CBC. They were all over them for unknown reasons. I usually dismiss talk about people having negative views about Russians, but after watching the final(s) with the CBC, I am more receptive to such ideas. - pattywins Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:12:27 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21374 He would look pretty good next to Malkin or E.Staal NO? - 5hole Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:07:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21371 No question in my mind that Dougie Hamilton is ready for prime time. He's outplayed the OHL, the AHL isn't an option and I wouldn't be surprised to see him mentioned among the calder candidates to end the year. - Dean Youngblood Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:16:12 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21370 Sentium - I read that blurb, too. He's available for trade. Perhaps they are shopping him. Semantics, no? - angus Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:52:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21369 Of course I have read it - but Pittsburgh knows that the only place that Staal wants to go is Carolina. Limited trading partners = Carolina holding the cards. - angus Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:51:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21368 [url]http://triblive.com/sports/columnists/2075073-74/staal-penguins-carolina-shero-team-extension-kovacevic-dejan-fair-jordan[/url] - MurphysxLawyer Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:31:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21367 Angus, have you not read any of the Staal coverage from yesterday? He won't sign an extension anywhere but Carolina (including Pit). PIT is now hand-cuffed pretty bad regarding what they can demand from CAR in a trade because he's going there now or as a UFA next summer so CAR doesn't have to make the deal "convincing" or as beefy as PIT probably wants it to be. http://triblive.com/sports/columnists/2075073-74/staal-penguins-carolina-shero-team-extension-kovacevic-dejan-fair-jordan - MurphysxLawyer Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:25:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21366 What about this? Contradicts your Yandle blurb... http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/hockey/comments/report-_yandle_trade_is_close/ - sentium Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:24:44 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21365 Yes, but if he doesn't sign an extension, the Pens are having their hand forced. Can't always get what you want, as the Stones said. - angus Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:06:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21364 Staal is one of the top 5 2-way forwards in the game and has significant upside on a team where he can get first line minutes - think Kopitar or Kesler. There is no way I'd give him away for players of the caliber of McBain and/or Sutter. As a flames fan, I'd gladly give up Iginla and any other player on our roster for Staal. - mabus Fri, 22 Jun 2012 05:29:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4701-june-22-2012#comment-21363 any team who gives Jokinen more than a 2yr deal should have their head examined,but with the cap going up and little talent available....a lot of players are going to get overpaid. - Rollie1967 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 04:50:22 +0100
