Description

I know Malkin is hurt right now, but hopefully he is back and playing well at the trade deadline. The $4.75M "retained" is pro rated salary that the Penguins will have already paid by the deadline. So the Penguins actually are not retaining money.

Trades

MTL

Malkin, Evgeni ($4,750,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Rental trade deadline deal if Pittsburgh is somehow out of the playoff picture (or on the fringe) and Montreal is in the playoff picture. Malkin has a "handshake deal" with the Penguins to sign back with Pittsburgh after the season is over.

PIT

Norlinder, Mattias
Poehling, Ryan
2022 3rd round pick (ANA)

MTL

2024 7th round pick (ARI)

ARI

Byron, Paul
2022 4th round pick (TBL)

So, let me get this straight, as a Habs fan you would be ok with giving up one of out top 2 LHD prospects and a good middle 6 prospect plus a pick, all the while knowing that there is no chance of Malkin resigning with Montreal and we only get 3 months worth of him? IF Montreal were solidly in the playoffs at the deadline it would be because Poehling has stepped up and solidified the 3C position at that point why even make the trade? Malkin is good but if Poehling can help Montreal earn a playoff spot by the deadline I say we just keep rolling with him as he is younger and cheaper.

The Penguins dont jump at that offer, but secondly and most important, wouldn;t Byron be off LTIR by then and therefore the team is over the cap?

Is this offer a joke? why on earth would the penguins make this trade? almost every other team in a playoff hunt could make a better offer for a HOF center that could easily put most teams over the edge to becoming true contenders. Pens would rather keep malkin and miss the playoffs than give him up for scraps.[/quote

i think you and Campabee should have a debate/steel cage death match and see who comes out on top. Very different opinions. Funny how people can have 2 different takes on the same transaction. I think you both make good points.

I know.

I would refer the Paul Byron issue to the many other trades on this website that trade Byron to Arizona (or some other cap floor team looking for picks) for picks.

Hammerwise liked this.
