Thread: Part 2 Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey91</b></div><div><a href="/users/pharrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@pharrow</a> this is the type of trade you’ll get for malkin. Not a top 12 center in the league. Not at this point in his career. Maybe 3 years ago.</div></div>

I think he has solid value, but not what he had after we won the cups. I really think this deal makes sense for Florida because 1) Malkin is a big name player and that can help with sales 2) It shows Barkov/Huberdeau that they are serious and that they want to win, so it may help them stay and commit to Florida. I also think Malkin considers waiving because 1) Going to Florida is something guys like doing, its a good place to be because of weather, lower taxes 2) He joins Bobrovsky, his fellow Russian boy 3) I am sure Horny would help put in a good word on the org

I was originally considering putting Tippett or Denisenko, but I think Heponiemi, a C prospect + Smilanic is smarter for the Pens.

Thread: Probably another year out of the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey91</b></div><div>I know. Seems like quite a few teams need lhd. The cats need 2 lhd bottom pair rhd and a top 6 winger to be a playoff team</div></div>

Yeah I agree, I think Tippett will develop into that top 6 forward, but they'll need a better option than Hornqvist or Connolly in that top 6. Vatrano is fine as a 2nd LW IF they get a good 2nd line centre. And that may be Denisenko who's coming up soon but I don't see him becoming that for another two years, and I'm wondering if guys like Huberdeau and Barkov are gonna wanna wait that long to finally become a consistent playoff team. I believe in Bill Zito though. Working behind Jarmo in Columbus, I think he seems like a smart guy who can bring this team to respectability in a couple years.
