would Edmonton trade Hall and Eberle for Evgeni Malkin straight up?
Malkins a great player, top 5 for sure. and Is seriously doubt hall and eberle will ever become as dominant as Malkin.
but as a pens fan, eberle and hall would give the pens so much more even spreaded scoring
eberle and crosby would be lethal along the boards and cycling the puck for offensive zone pressure galore.
and Hall and Staal together would be magical aswell.
again, outside of sid and malkin, mo one has any real elite level skill with the puck.
Kunitz – Crosby – Eberle
Hall – Staal – Tangradi
Cooke – Letestu – Bennet
would be a very balanced and top notch team heading into the playoffs.
remember Eberle is very clutch where ever he plays, team canada wjc and team canada world senior mens team in april, 1st teenager on there roster since jonathan toews back in 07.
and Taylor Hall, the 2010 1st overall pick. He is perhaps the most decorated playoff performer in Canadian Hockey League History.
2 time OHL PLAYOFF MVP AND 2 time Memorial Cup MVP (the only player to win the award twice, let alone back to back, before they were even drafted)
and despite canada losing to the u.s. at the world juniors, Hall still scored 2 goals and an assist in there loss, he scored 6 goals, 6 assists in 6 games.
infact similar draftee’s had nowhere near Hall’s level of production for Canada “BEFORE” being drafted, tavares had 4 goals, 1 assist in 8gms. Stamkos had 3 assists in 8 games, gagner 2 assists in 7 gm, Toews 4 goals in 7 games.
Halls pre-draft playoff production in junior is similar to Crosby’s and his world junior stats are even better.
Its what makes Hall so special, I Have absolutely no doubt that he is going to win a Conn Smythe Playoff MVP trophy when his career is said and done. EVEN if he only pans out to be nothing more than a 50 point player in the regular season. He just has a whole other extra gear he kicks into when the going gets tough, when the game means alot more, he’s a man possessed when a championship is on the line, nuff said. I like his potential. like Bob Mckenzie said “the canadian pavel bure”
not perhaps but rather, yes Hall is the most dominant playoff performer in CHL history, I have no trouble making that statement, he’s just too godd when it matters.
that being said of course, its all hypothetical whether there clutch performance would translate to nhl playoff success. I sure as heck wouldn’t bet against it though.
I know MALKIN is capable of that conn msythe “ilk” but man he just isnt the same player he was since 08.
largely do to the fact that he plays with the worst possible linemates every year and a coach who can’t use his best asset properly on the powerplay. that laser shot from the half walls of course.
both Crosby and Malkin suffer from having mad linemates because of there massive salaries (worth it though)
I just think both would be happy being “the man” on there team and having elite wingers to play with.
Hemsky – Malkin – Penner
Lander – Paajarvi – Pitlick
Hall – Crosby – Kunitz
Eberle – Staal – Tangradi
Malkin is obviously the best player in this deal, no question.
to the dynasty, a new chapter.
ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID? I MEANT ON THE PENGUINS ROSTER, DON’T FUCKING PLAY DUMB WITH ME JUST BECAUSE YOUR TEAM GOT AN.AL F.UC.KED HARD BY THE PENS IN THE 09 PLAYOFFS, LOL, YOU F.U.CKING LOSER.
THE NEW DYNASTY CHAPTER, AWWWWWW WHATS THE MATTER, DID IT HURT TO LOSE 4 OF THE LAST 5 GAMES IN THE 09 PLAYOFFS AFTER WINNING THE FIRST 2? AWWW POOR, POOR LITTLE BABY, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME YOU FAG.GOT.
Its pretty obvious you a very uneducated person.
your throwing blanket statements out that are not even remotely close to what I have asked.
you assumed I was saying no other team has good players outside of pittsburgh.
I doubt you wer ebeing sarcastic, your use of words make you sound very uninformed, bitter and way off base of the topic at hand.
If you came here just to stir $hit up than it shows your age, more importantly, your maturity level.
never assume, you tend to make an a$$ out of your self, sarcasm or no sarcasm. Your simply put. A bitter moron.
