Penguins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:53:37 PDT

General manager Ray Shero would like to reach an agreement with center Jordan Staal on a long-term extension prior to the start of the regular season.

That gives him a bit more than two months to convince Staal, whose nine playoff goals the past two seasons are only two fewer than the total amassed by star center Sidney Crosby, that a long-term extension is in his best interest.

Staal's camp might not think along that line.

Staal can become a restricted free agent on July 1, 2009, and all indications point to him receiving substantial offers if that happens. The Penguins would like to sign him to an extension at length at least equal to the one inked by Evgeni Malkin on July 2—a term of five years.
