I actually think DL will try to retain all three but I expect Stoll to take a better offer elsewhere with Penner the likeliest to come back at a reduced salary for a year or two. Fraser is 50/50.

i'm came back in here to talk a little Yandle.

i mean i understand they have a massive hard-on for their big three youngsters; Ekman-Larsson, Gormley and Runblad... but Yandle is a year removed from a Norris caliber season, was 4th in team scoring last year, and logs the most minutes... and that group is still FAR too green... one of Runblad or Gormley is likely going to get cut.

so, Klesla, Morris, Stone and Schlemko with THOSE three, or maybe two of those and a re-up on Rozsival?

I could see Yandle to going to Long Island for the 4th so the Yotes could take Forsberg.

Maybe to the Pens for Staal and either a younger defenseman or a top pick contingent on him re-signing.

They are going to want an impact forward out of that potential deal.

Not sure what I want least, Staal on SJ or Anaheim
SJ probably more likely to give up a key part I guess

Yakupov to Edmonton, and nothing else from Tambellini.

Nothing about thanking Pittsburgh for their hospitality or otherwise.

Yakupov--Hall--Nugent-Hopkings line is going to be sick to watch.

LUBO gets a cookie on Long Island!

@reallisa: Ducks just confirmed Visnovsky trade. Goes to the Isles for a second rd pick next year.

Crazy that it's only for a second round pick, maybe because he only has one more year left on his contract.
