Geno waves NMC to play for Torts?

Geno would never want to play for Torts' defensive system.

CBJ not trading for an old vet with 2 years left and due to start declining due to age.

They are not likely to trade him at all. If they do it will be for long term assets.

This just proves how overrated PLD is, Malkin is still 10x better than him and CBJ would be adding. However, the deal doesn't make sense because Pens aren't downgrading and Malkin will be a UFA in 2 years.

The most likely scenario: PLD gets over whatever upset him and stays with CBJ.

If that doesn't happen, CBJ will trade him for a center near the same age and plays a similar game to him. CBJ drafted PLD because of the way he plays the game. To them, he is the perfect mold of a "CBJ player" according to their scouts and management at the 2016 Draft.
