nickels555 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 With Malkins name being mentioned in trade talks...what could we offer ? Both Sedins,Kassian Baertschi ??.....would make Pitts the fav in the East the next couple yrs. . Both Malkin and Crosby seem to step it up a bit when the other is out. Tricky part is what contracts would we have to take from Pitts ? (Sedin/Sedin/Baertschli/Kassian would be approx 17-18 mil.) Pitts would have a great 2nd line, and 2 "cheap" potential top 6 wingers. From a Canuck standpoint...I would like a future around Malkin, Horvat, Bonino(till McCann Cassels ready) up the middle, than what we're looking at now. Malkin is only 28, and would bridge the gap to our youth a lot better than the twins. Plus cap space.. Pitts may want to go "all in" the next couple yrs while Sid is in his prime..

Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Theres almoat no way they take the sedins instead of malkin. Theres almost no way the canucks trade the sedins or that they waive their no trade clauses. Just being realistic. If we were to go after Malkin you can guarantee they would be wanting Horvat, Kassian, vrbata, our 1st and maybe more. That would give them depth, size, future, and scoring back. Is it teally worth it for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I once had a dream a few years that he acquired Malkin. We traded Raymond and a couple others. He scored his first goal of the season in our first win of the season...in February!!! The trade was made during the off-season and it was NOT a lockout-shortened year...we were just that terrible.

Skirbs11 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 2015 1st rd pick. 2016 first round pick, Jarred McCann, Frank Corrado and Zach Kassian. Thats my guess, but then again its just so hard to put a value on the elite NHL players. If Pittsburgh is trying to move him the value is lower, if a team is desperately trying to acquire the value is higher And if we got Malkin I would try and get him to play the Wing and would split the sedins up Malkin-Sedin-Vrbata Sedin-Horvat-Beartschi Burrows-Bonino-Hansen Dorsett-Richardson-Kennins Power play Sedin-Sedin-Beartschi Malkin-Vrbata Malkin and Vrby on the point for the one timers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 O yeah right I'm not kidding. The win was shown in highlight form, like on SportsCenter. It was such a strange dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Virtanen, Horvat and a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Why does the cost have to be astronomical as many of you are suggesting? So the team taking him has to absorb a hideous contract and give up top prospects? Sounds like a lose-lose to me. Pittsburgh is going to have to be realistic about the return if they think they can move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Said it before, will say it again... if he gets moved I think he'll go to St. Louis. I'll be basing this thought off the Nash deal (two forwards in Dubinsky, Anisimov, plus Erixon and 1st; Columbus also moved a 3rd and another minor player; thought of using the Kovalchuk deal, but the Thrash got pretty fleeced and I doubt Pittsburgh's GM lets his #2 star go for scraps, esp. since Geno probably hasn't asked to be moved). The Blues have lots of scoring depth and defenders. One of Backes/ Lehtera (probably less likely, he played with Tarasenko and Schwartz)/ Stastny (wouldn't doubt it if the Blues tried to move his cap, though it'd be tough IMO) would be a decent fill-in for the #2 C role. Probably add in an NHL-level defender and send one less-developed one back to them if it's Shattenkirk or Piet getting dealt, and add in Jaskin or Rattie if it's a weaker D-man to Steeltown, to address the Pens' weaknesses on D and wing. Malkin at the top of the roster would be deadly, and depending on the package going back the D-man going back would differ too, but if they want top talent they'll have to pony up.

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 We would have to give them a lot of good pieces for the future too. Any star player pretty much warrants a top-6 forward, depth roster player, 1st or 2nd round pick and top prospect. TO VAN: Malkin TO PIT: Vbrata + Sbisa (or Higgins, but Pittsburgh need defence) + 1st + Virtanen It's a lot, and Malkin is already 28 so I probably wouldn't do it, but here's our future lineup in say 3 years time. Malkin will be 31, most of our young kids should be full time NHLers by then and here's our lineup = Baertschi - Malkin - UFA Jensen - Horvat - Kassian Sedin - Sedin - Hansen Shinkaruk - Gaunce - UFA veteran Edler - Tanev Hamhuis - Corrado 2015 draft pick - Clendening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven pounds soft Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would take Malkin in a heartbeat. I just can't justify trading what it would take... (some of our best roster players + our best prospects) for someone that disappears in the playoffs. And the Russian factor?? The guy could pull a kovalchuck at any moment. We can be the new New Jersey Devils , no prospects, no star, Nothing good in sight. I think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 A team like St. Louis could easily beat anything we have to offer, but for the sake of it... Edler, Bonino, Shinkaruk, Jensen, 2015 1st & 2016 2nd for Malkin Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Baertschi - Malkin - Vrbata Virtanen - Horvat - Burrows Dorsett - _____ - Hansen _____ - Tanev Hamhuis - Bieksa Sbisa - Corrado Miller Lack/Markstrom Would Malkin be worth it? Probably. Could we afford to give up what it would take? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't think the Pens move Malkin for two aging scorers in their mid-30s, especially when neither can hit 20 goals. Although playing in the East would see them at 80pts+ I reckon. Florida would be the best trading partner. Something like Barkov + Hayes + Campbell + 2nd.
