is it just me or can the penguins not draft late?
People think they're geniuses for drafting malkin (2) staal (2) fleury (1) crosby (1) lemieux (1) and jagr (6). not saying that you can't screw up in the early 1st round but where is anything after the first round, can only count letang (62) malone (115) and recchi (67) noteworthy in the last DECADE.
look at nashville with weber(49) rinne (245)
or FREAKING DETROIT datsyuk (171) lidstrom (53) holmstrom (257) zetterberg (210) and MANY MANY MORE
@blueandgold1000 yes but i think the factor was that eric and marc had already been drafted so at the draft it was kinda more secure to take another staal since eric and marc were making a name out of them already.
but nonetheless toews is my favorite player at my favorite team so this was the order it should have been;)
what are you doing staal parents?? keep doing it!!

man, Pens could've drafted Kessel or even Toews! Crosby-Malkin-Toews...

@BloomersWebseries Yeah they could have, but staal is a superb 3rd liner and penalty killer. Imo the best defensive center out there.

@saintconnnor Apparently he's the most talented player in the family, he just doesn't care and has no work ethic

He should've won the Selke Trophy for best defensive forward this year.

@hockeychickadee His day will come. I didn't think he would get it this year, but I know he will in the near future.
