Rumor: Star player once again “highly linked” to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The rumor is heating up

It's no secret around the NHL that the Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to add a third line center after losing Bonino's services to the Nashville Predators.

Tyler Kennedy told DK Pittsburgh Tim Benz that Jordan Staal, 28, would be more comfortable with a third-line center role than the current setup with the Hurricanes.Staal has been away from Pittsburgh for five years now. In Carolina, he was supposed to grow into a top center, which he was never going to do with the Penguins behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin said Dave Holcomb.

Dave Holcomb from Fanrag sports added he would be a great fit and the rumor is heating up around the fact he might head back to Pittsburgh in a role that fits him more.
