AriGold Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) – In what has already been a wild offseason for the Penguins involving Mike Babcock rumors and a potential sale of the team, news has now come out that one of the team’s superstars may want out. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, “people around the league” have heard that Evgeni Malkin is unhappy and would be open to a trade. Friedman points out that even if these rumors are true, a trade is unlikely while the team is exploring a potential sale given that trading a superstar like Malkin could hurt the team’s value. Malkin is coming off a 70-point season in which he played in 69 games while being held without a single point in the team’s first-round loss at the hands of the New York Rangers. For his career, Malkin has a total of 813 points combined in the regular season and playoffs over nine seasons with a 2009 Conn Smythe Trophy and 2012 Hart Memorial Trophy under his belt. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/06/05/report-malkin-open-to-trade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriGold Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Incoming Malkin to canucks for Jensen higgins miller Bieksa proposals No Asset we have could probably make this happen. Maybe something like.. To TBL: Evgeni Malkin To PIT: Valterri Filpulla, Jonathan Drouin, TBL 1st 2015 and Anthony Deangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I can only see teams like Edmonton, New Jersey, or Arizona making an offer. But I'm pretty sure at the end of the season, Malkin had an interview and he said he wanted to remain a Penguin forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixthecat_potvin Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We'll offer our superstar defenseman Sbisa ONLY if Pittsburg eats half of Malkin's contract. And maybe throw in Evan Mceneny just to really sweeten the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas19 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I don't think he wants to be traded. He seems to absolutely love Pittsburgh. With that being said IF he was traded I feel like the Penguins would actually be a better team because of it. The players that they would get back would add some much needed depth to the team.

Mr.Plow Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We don't have the assets to make the trade, but imagine if Edmonton landed him. Nuge + Eberle for Malkin, use the 16th overall + 31st to acquire legit players to win now. Core of Malkin, McDavid, Hall, Yakupov and Draistal...

Watermelons Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We all know that Malkin is going to say that the only team he's willing to go to is Vancouver. Benning will then offer Bonino, Sbisa, 1st and 3rd. In short, we traded Kesler for Malkin. Benning for GM of the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last outlaw Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So much for Bergevin saying in his year end presser that elite, franchise centers don't become available very often. Habs have the assets to get Malkin, but they would be mortgaging the future and giving awful alot up for a player turning 29 and on the downside of his career. Make no mistake he's still a world class player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hope we stay clear of this guy/contract. Why would you want to stay clear of one of the best centre icemen in the league? You do know that he was playing injured this playoffs? This reminds me a bit of that year that Patrick Kane was supposedly on the trading block and CDC was like we don't want him blah blah and i was um trade whatever you need to get him and he now is the best player in the league.
