the Buffalo Sabres have reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Flyers that sees Crosby going to the Sabres and Staal to the Flyers. Other minor pieces are said to be involved in the deal.
The biggest difference between these two young superstars is Staal's a RFA who will ask for a huge salary increase whereas Crosby is locked in at a low salary for three years.
it will be interesting to get more details. Talentwise I think they are almost on par.
OK.... i agree with you that crosby is almost completely equal to staal in FHL, which is why i only dealt crosby and his contract serenity for a package like this:
Anyways, i think i got a good enough deal that it was worth it to get a guy like smid and preissing, as well as the cash and huge upgrades in picks....

I like the Staal side, I don't think Crosby is worth that much more than Staal in an fhl league. More ya, but that is a lot more.
