Before Shero entertains idea of trading Jordan Staal, he should first call Ottawa. Gonchar has 1 yr left @ $5.5m & Filip Kuba coming off their books now @ $3.7 + having brother Milan there, see what it would take for Sens to take Z.Michalek #4 off Pens books last 3 yrs $12m

Then call Minny Wild & see what it would take for them to take Paul Martin last 3 yrs & $14 m. Martin is a native of Minnesota & after the WILD purged their roster @ the trade deadline they actually have cash to spend & will have to spend so much to get to salary cap "Floor". If that means Shero ships Tangradi or TK or draft pick so be it. They currently only have 4 defensemen signed for next season & only tom gilbert making more then $1m other 3 making less then $900k. So they have the cap space & need a "Veteran" guy
