embracing the rebuild

Zero chance the Rangers give up anything near Kakko for a year of 35 year old Malkin.

While I disagree with the sentiment from other people that you won't get a good return for these guys despite their age (because they're Crosby Malkin and Letang and GMs like veteranosity), I'm a bit more confused why Pittsburgh would do this as they've been much better since a slow start. Though if you're just doing this as a hypothetical that doesn't matter and my bad lol.

Not sure if Montreal gives up Suzuki, maybe Kotkaniemi? Would Edmonton want Letang if they have Barrie presumably extended? Its definitely harder to make these trades with the flat cap. Personally, if Crosby went somewhere, it'd be on his terms and Montreal is a possibility but I feel like the go to has to be Colorado because of the Mackinnon connection. Malkin I could see going to someone who is trying to get over the hump and needs center depth, maybe someone like Minnesota even.

Ha no thanks on Malkin at 50% let alone this nonsense. Guy is washed.

no way the Oilers do that trade, in 2 years Broberg is going to be as good if not better then Letang.

Really



Broberg has an NHLe of 10 right now in Sweden and Letang still hits a 60+ point pace yearly so at least offensively that's almost impossible to occur

Could Bro outperform his 20th percentile xGA?

that's definitely possible

But Letang still elite by almost all other metrics

He might just be Adam Larsson 2.0 ultimately
