The concept of the trade is that you can pay Pettersson and Marino, both of whom are a #6 defenseman $8MM to play $12 minutes a game or you can keep LeTang for the same amount. Buy them out or trade them to get some futures and cap space and spend it on a play making center and keep Rakell, Rust and LeTang. I had added to rights to Boeser, but that didn't carry over.
Also, with Malkin out of the picture, so too is the black hole that is his baggage and that will free up Zucker to actually touch the puck more and score more.
The way the team played before Malkin came back this year was outstanding. It took time, but it was clicking, 20-9-5, including 10 of 11 and a strong team commitment to defense. Legend has it, that wins Cups.
