Hanzal plays on the 3rd line and Turris is a scrawny rookie. I see more upside offensively in them than Staal....
Staal has played mostly on the Third Line with minimum PP time where his wonderful supporting wingers sometimes include Minard,Wallace,Goligoski and Satan(when he is Chateau Bow-wow,which is almost always)
I'd strongly consider it. It could be a good fit for both teams. Lisin's upside is insane, and it would hurt a lot to let go of it. He could end up making us look very, very stupid. I imagine he'd tear it up in Pittsburgh. However, Goligoski would fill an organizational need, and is not short on upside, himself. It's close, that's for sure. A potential Jovanovski replacement is probably more usefull to us than a guy who may be stuck behind the likes of Boedker and Mueller, though, so ulitimately, I probably pull the trigger. Even if I'd have overwhelming anxiety attacks over letting Lisin go. It's a good thing Don Maloney is much smarter, and much, much more patient than I am.
Don't worry, Yotes fans, I'm not going to include Mueller, as that will just piss you off, I'd imagine. He's just about untouchable.
Here's what I've got.
Please don't flame me too hard.
No way from a Penguin standpoint. Staal for Boedker I wouldnt do straight up or even with the 2nd. Then Goligoski for Lisin? Thats highway robbery!
Staal is going to be a good #2 center when he gets more consistant. He had what 29 goals his rookie year? He plays on the 3rd line in Pittsburgh. Goligoski has such a brighter future than Lisin!
Staal for Boedker I wouldnt do straight up or even with the 2nd.
Funny. As a Phoenix fan, if you were to offer me Staal and a 2nd for Boedker, I'd decline.

Impossible to say. I imagine the majority of Phoenix fans would decline a Lisin for Goligoski swap. I couldn't really make a decision, myself. The only reason I'd consider it is because we'd be dealing from a strength to shore up a weakness.
I d say Lisin upside is probably higher than Goligoski but he is less likely to reach his full potential,Kid skates like the wind could be an excellent fit with Crosby.

Yea so could Kolstantin Koltsov ! He couldnt score either.
Can't imagine the Yotes wanting Staal when they have a player as good (or better) defensively in Hanzal.
I wouldn't call Alex Goligoski a "top-4 D man".. he has that upside, but he's playing creampuff opposition relative to others on the Pens.
Yes he is not a imposing player by any means but I judge a guy by positional play. He has a ton of offensive ability and he has been a plus since playing in the pros. That includes Wilkes Barre Scranton.
