This swap would be absolutely asinine from the Pens pov. Two struggling brothers , one on the major decline and UFA for one of the best players in the game . Sounds legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 4 hours ago, ForsbergTheGreat said: The want a center. They get a super star and still have Josi, Ekholm, ellis and Jones in their top 4. PLus in the short term they'd be saving money. I can't even take credit for this. It was brought up on NHL radio today. I think the only reason that trade hasn't happened yet is because Pittsburgh would have 0 center depth behind Crosby after. That's the kind of deal I'd look at making in at the draft/during the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Just as a minor random thought: with Malkin and Stamkos in the rumour mills. If we had the choice to sign either, I'd probably pick Stamkos as he's younger and would have a better chance of staying with the team longer I think. Again, just a random thought with only a slight similarity to this thread. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Can't see it, even if the Penguins GM goes for it, Lemieux would put a stop to it. Rutherford needs to just bute the bullet and get realize that the coach he has doesn't fit with the personalities in his team. And to get a better backend, after Letang the penguins have nothing and Letang is made of glass. Why does the Penguins need the Stall brothers? Eric is not going to produce like Malkin in the second line, Bonino is arguably playing better than Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 For a player that is considered one of the better two-way players in the league, Staal has a pretty overrated plus minus. You'd have to be crazy to trade Malkin for him. Even for both Staal brothers is a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player could have a -30 on the year and have nothing to do with the 30 more goals scored against. Meanwhile a player who is a +8 could be responsible for 20 GA he just happened to get 28 points. +/- alone very rarely tells the whole story.

Drakrami Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Lmao.. Not in a million years. Staal brothers are no where near as valuable as Malkin. Malkin is a line himself, you can put 2 AHLers on a line with him and they will score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Perhaps then Malks pulls a Kovy, & scoots back to Russia, absolving the 'Canes of any LT-commitment? Have a feeling they're setting up a garage sale, & then they'll move to somewhere that possibly(?) needs hockey(team sale & transfer). Overall economy ain't what it used to be. If BOG can't justify expansion, maybe this way Battman gets his LV pet-project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefcakeBo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I could see the pens trade Malkin but it's a pretty big stretch. You have to ask yourself what centers in the NHL would you take before Malkin and the list is pretty damn short. Maybe Crosby, but that's even debatable because Malkin out plays him in Pittsburgh a lot of the time too. Toews. Stamkos. Kopitar maybe. Tavares maybe. McDavid maybe. He may not end up being any better than Malkin but he is younger. The value coming back for Malkin would have to be huge. Like a top player and a very high pick or very high value prospect. Or a Swap for another elite player at a different position like Webber or Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermanbieksa Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Why would Malkin waive his NTC for Carolina? Why would they want two ageing centers in return? I don't think that will put Pittsburgh under the cap ceiling? Why would Jordan resign with the Pens as third line center when he left because he wanted more icetime and responisbility? Great journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
