Description
Realistically, this is where Malkin is at in his career. Dropping him to the third gives him a chance at more favorable match ups that will mask his regression and create more depth scoring that Pittsburgh needs. His pay cut along with trading a few contracts will open up the space to sign a big name UFA and revamp the second line. Kapanen's and Heinen's RFA rights could also be traded to recoup some draft stock.

Why sign Forsberg when you can sign Rust for over 3 million cheaper who put up similar if not better numbers this year

I don't disagree, but something tells me Forsberg playing with Crosby would be massive/fun to watch.

I also don't think Malkin takes that kind of pay cut though, which makes re-signing Rust over Forsberg make even more sense.

It would be fun to watch. Also Malkin said he doesnt want money in his next contract so I expect to to take at most 6 mil
