Staal is playing possibly the best hockey of his career right now. He can score, he's good defensively, and not only is he a good penalty killer but he's a threat to score short handed. Me might not be as explosive offensively as Sid, Geno, or Neal, but he is a well rounded player, and one of the best centers in the game IMO, and it seems like he just keeps getting better with each new season. I'd love to see Staal signed long term. It seems like every year when the trade deadline comes around Staal's name is always one of the first mentioned in trade rumors. I don't see him going anywhere any time soon.

James Neal is the first Penguins winger to score 30 or more goals in season since Kovalev did it in 2001.
The kid is a solid goal scorer and has now started his career with 5 straight seasons of 20 plus goals. The fact he's only 24 years old and is still devloping makes this a solid signing.
