Thread: Massive trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>5 years is way too long, I would rather take a risk on Letang for 5 than Malkin at 3, but I think giving them that much will cripple the team. When your that old you could drop off very quickly and we are already an old team. Old teams don't win cups. Especially with Sullivans speed system</div></div>

I think you meant you would NOT take the risk, I get that.

I would - I think Letang will still be completely solid for the next 3 years, and very serviceable in the last 2. The last 2 really might not even matter when it boils down to it given the age of the rest of the core.

If there was a suitable replacement for him and the #1 D on the team then I would be more receptive. Klingberg is not, Petry is not. Now Malkin's offense I could see being replaced with someone else, and definitely better at face-offs.

Paying Letang (and Malkin) and removing some other salary would be the way they should go. Shed Petterson or Dumo, so POJ can play. Don't resign some of the bottom six and let a young guy take a spot.

I hope that both are back, but I'm not the GM
