For all of those who question Jordan Staal's talent and would like to have Penguins GM trade him, think about the points that this fan makes (from Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's "Fan Voice"):
The Pens should hold on to (center Jordan Staal). Yes, he's had a slow start this year, but the kid is so young and has the talent. There are so many examples of good, even great players, getting off to slow starts. ... I do think there is a bit of pressure on him to replace (departed left wing Ryan Malone) and who knows how that's affecting his play. He'll find the back of the net more and more all in good time.

I know you all will NEVER believe me, but I actually forgot to read this until I was checking back for comments.

I think that most of Staal's problem is Ryan Whitney. If I recall correctly, HE was the "whipping boy" for the SHOOT crowd.(I've heard them referred to disparagingly as Yinzers)
If Whitney were healthy, I think a lot of the trade Staal assholes would be distracted by their never-ending hatred for Whitney. All of those people should be banished to baseball for life.
rage - I agree with you completely now that you brought it up; I've never really thought about it that way before, but you're right!
It really wouldn't make sense or be a wise move on the Penguins part to trade Staal (unless it was for another young player)!
THANKS for your comments!!
I will be very sad if they let Staalsy go :(
NO WAY "should" they trade Staal. In the (possibly near) future he is going to be a VERY valuable resource.
However, I'm pretty sure he most probably "will" be traded...
I just have a feeling.
@life-I hope your feeling is wrong this time. I'm a keep Staal kinda guy, but I can definitely see where you're coming from.
