    Next season, I think, we'll see a lot of double-shifting for Crosby, Malkin and Staal.  The question is:  Can they handle Top D Pair-type minutes over an 82-game season?  If so, will they have any gas left in the tank for the playoffs?  I think a likely scenario is a trade involving Staal, sometime between now and the Draft.
