Easy no from Pittsburgh.

You're looking at Necas, Bean, plus more

Haha no, I’m sorry. As good as Malkin is, he is declining and is making a lot of money. Pens are not going to get a supreme, premium haul for him. 5 years ago? Definitely. Not now though...

haha i am sorry. he will cost alot more than than junk you offered. so get a clue and stop smoking crack

K pal. Thanks for the constructive feedback...

LMAO you cant be that naive? Your proposal was very very terrible. You cant get an elite talent that carries his own line and has over a ppg for spare parts lmao. Fleury is the only thing of value that pittsburgh wants

A first round pick, a high second, a Top 6 potential winger prospect, a decent young bottom six center, a former first round pick dman with huge upside (which the pens have NONE of) and TVR (for salary reasons). Pens shed 7 mil or so in cap. What is the problem with this deal? The Pens are receiving more then what the Sens got for stone, who is considerably younger, putting up equal numbers this season and did so on a terrible team.

No one is gonna want to pay a 33 Year old 9 Million until he is 36 when he has already regressed.

Notice the only people who have problems with this Trade are Pens fans? ? All fans overvalue their players...

Because what’s the point of trading a HOF elite center still producing over a ppg? ?

Do I look like an NHL GM? I don’t know. If you’re not happy with the return then don’t trade him, fine by me. I’m not even a Canes fan lol...

That’s exactly my point. Teams don’t trade players like malkin and teams don’t want to give up value for someone his age

This trade isn’t even that bad lmao I think PIT says no still, but it’s really close

He's the 4th best center in the league. He can fetch 2 good prospects and some picks with ease

Fleury sucks. Van Riemsdyk has more value than him

All you did was offer some spare parts and some throwaway picks.

That garbage would easily get outbid

A late 1st, a 2nd, a future 3rd liner (Gauthier), a bottom 6 center (Wallmark), a bottom pair D who sucks at the NHL level (Fleury), and a low-end #4 (Van Riemsdyk). Now you tell me what's the problem with this deal.

As for the Stone deal, Brannstrom alone is probably worth the same as the pile of trash that was offered here.

lmao when someone calls the guy elite with 21 Goals total, and a 51 assist rate from being carried by Kessel that's definitely elite.

No one will offer that for a guy who will be 36 by the end of his contract, and clearly losing value hitting only 21 Goals this season.

I’m not even going to say how idiotic that comment is. Was he getting carried by kessel last year when he scored 40+? Or how about any year before that when he was over a ppg every single year? Bet you didn’t realize kessel went over 20 games without a 5 on 5 goal, but ya he was carrying malkin alright ??

40+ last year, dude he is a 33 year old guy who just went on a bad year, which shows signs of regression. You can't base it off of 2 years ago,Carolina is trading for the Malkin 2 years ago, they are trading for the Malkin that is right now, and right now it's a 9.5M just above 20 Goals a season, Carolina would be better off going after someone else not as old, and def a team who doesn't have sheep wool pulled over their with how bias they are, all of the assists were not actually deserved assists it all came from Kessel's wonderful skills. Malkin had a bad year especially for being 9.5 Million dollars. I hope you have a good rest of your day, and I hope you understand your biasness and turn it around.

Ya no disagreement about him having a bad year. But he still produced at a high rate. Malkin has had a career where 1 year of "bad" play doesn't shadow what he's done and can still do. Maybe he is regressing, but maybe he isn't. Whose to say he doesn't play with fire next year and put up 90+ points and 40+ goals like he just did 2 years ago? Toews was considered declining as well, and he arguably had his best season last year.

He produced at a High rate, but it's going downward and you can't take the risk of him having even more of a down year and having to pay 9.5M if he does have another down year.

But dont you think he's earned the right to have a down year? There was talk about crosby declining when he had his down year. IMO players that have careers like Malkin get a pass if they have a down year before the talk of declining happens because he could easily come back next year and be the player he always was

He can have his down years, but why would Carolina overpay for a guy who is regressing so rapidly.

Im just saying in general about Malkin. There isn't 1 team that makes sense to trade for Malkin. And how is Malkin regressing so rapidly? Its 1 year so there isn't a trend to his play. If there were multiple years of his down years, then there could be talk of him regressing
