    they need wingers then, i'm assuming these centermens cannot work alone, if pittsburgh gets the right chemistry, that's three lines that can pack an explosive punch, if one night one line is not doing so well you got the other two, that's kinda scary, good thing we're not in the east. But then pittsburgh, their defense, well you can tear them apart if you really wanna so yeah one thing pittsburgh needs to work on.

    i think one of staal or malkin will be traded in the future for wingers/dmen. but dat wont happen till their rookie contract is up. by then, whoever is asking for more money will probably be the one trade IMO.

    true true and cause of what his brother is making right now and if he matches is brother and beats his brother's stats, he's gonna want more and wham he's gone, i'm assuming malkin doesn't know how to negotiate.

    Jordan Staal least talented of the 3?

    What I always heard was that Jared Staal (the youngest) is said to be the most talented with potential of the 4 brothers and Marc Staal is the least talented. And Jordan is more talented than Eric. But I think Jordan is a bit hyped and overrated, he's a very good talented hockey player but I don't think he lives up to all they hype surronding around him, but thats the media not his fault. Also I remember most Petes fans complain about how he didn't do jack during Peterborough's Memorial Cup run.

    Since Eric is the only Staal brother in the NHL I wouldn't say who's better than who because the NHL is another level. I'm sure if we all have to make a fair judgement on the Staal brothers and their talent, we would have to wait at least a few years to see their progress and compare.

    There's rumors that Canucks are talking with Jason Allison and Radek Dvorak. Hopefully it's just rumors.

    i also heard jared was supposed to be the best in the family, but it'll be tough to top wat eric did in the nhl. jordan is not as good as eric at the same age, so i doubt he'll be better in the nhl. both malkin and crosby are projected to be better then jordan, its no insult to jordan but he is the least talented of the 3.

    nucks interested in allison? god i hope not, where would he even fit in? we already have henrik, b-mo, kesler and chouinard down the middle. and dvorak cant score enuff to be on the top 2 lines, but we already have too many bodies on the bottom 2, he wont fit either imo.

    ooh nevermind my bad.. I thought you were saying Jordan is the least talented among all 3 brothers him, Marc and Eric. Not including Jared.

    And yes, Jordan is obviously the least talented among all 3 Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby and him.

    jordan is the 'least good' of the 3 bros (eric, marc) imo. i think jordan is vastly overrated and if his name is joe smith, he'd be pick in the mid 1st round.

    well that's what you get for having connections, the sutteres were pretty good, so they were probably the best of all the brothers in the nhl.

    the sutters are mostly 3rd liner grinders throughout their careers tho. i think the staals are more talented.

    Staal brothers are cooler and WAYY more talented. They own the Sutters any time, hands down. The Espisitos are another name of hockey siblings that has made a huge debut in the world of NHL hockey.

    hehe i dunno if i'll go as far as sayin the 'own' the sutters, since only 1 of the staals actually made the nhl so far, but they have the potential.
    the bures are pretty good too, they hold the record for most goals by a bro duo in a season. also the gretzkys hold the nhl record for most assists (altho all but 3 of those belong to wayne ). and the hulls both had pretty impressive careers. also the howes too, i still cant believe gordie played w/ his sons lol.

    dont' forget the niedermayer's they may not have any records so far but they're pretty good defensively and your guy's sedin's the list goes on. The kaberle brothers are pretty good d-man too,

    Talent can only take you so far. Until all the Staal's are in the NHL I would have to give this one to the Sutters.

    I've always been a fan of the Lindros brothers, Eric and Brett. Their size was imposing. Too bad they both had a series of concussions which ended Brett Lindros' career and Eric soon enough once he gets another hit to the head.
