Staal Staying In Pittsburgh

As per Pittsburgh Penguins site today and Ray Shero...the Pens have agreed to terms with Jordan Staal on a 4 year contract. Staal will play out the rest of this season on his entry level contract and then the new contract will kick in the starting of next season and "keep" Staal in a Pens jersey til 2012-2013 season. No details released yet on the numbers...

Smart move by Shero or a bad one...you be the judge. Getting him locked up is probably smart so that the Pens can't just let him walk in the offseason...that being said, is Jordan a retard or what? Or maybe he realizes his stock has fallen so hard since his rookie season that he probably wasn't going to get MUCH more than whatever the Pens have offered. I swear to God if its more than 3.2 a year I'm gonna F'n flip shit. Anyways, not much else to report on the matter until the numbers surface. Maybe Staal was cute like Crosby and took 1.11...I mean...1.11 is pretty generous I think.



UPDATE: Giving more credit to...well not us because why would we be the first one's the Pens tell about signing Staal...the Post Gazette has got the numbers.

Staal will earn $3.5 his first two seasons of the new contract...and then...GASP, CHOKE, PUKE, WTF???....$4.5 the remaining 2 years of his contract.



Penguin Ownership, Mario Lemieux, and Ray Shero photoshops of them being anally raped by Staal and his agent to come.

Actually, Crosby has his winger...Staal is starting at LW tonight on his line! Personally, I'm pumped about Staal getting a new 4 year contract, now for the next four years I can get drunk during every Pens game...take a drink every time Jordan Staal blows a scoring chance!
