If this is true I'm guessing he thinks the Pens are essentially done/starting their rebuild soon and would like to play a couple of years for his childhood team before he retires.

He must have seen that thread the Habs fan started about him some years back:

The story... of how I met Kris Letang on Christmas Eve
It's very hard to explain to my family and relatives how much HFBoards mean to me. I do have a bit obsession about this community, as prove this post - that I'm writing on a Christmas night, after hours of reading different post about hockey and whatnot. I have been lurking here for a decade...

Age, $$$ and term all suck...............and that's not taking into consideration his major health issues.
Does not seem to fit with a young, rebuilding team.
Unless you have something new on Mailioux, which seems doubtful since he's being allowed to play in the NHL, give it a rest. What he did as a 17-year-old was stupid, insensitive, and illegal, but he's paid for what he did. Labeling someone for life based on one incident prior to one's becoming an adult is extremely unfair.

He's 37 BTW.
Letang is in no way a liability, and based on the way he trains, I doubt he will be become one anytime soon. His last year of his contract may the only one that can be the issue.
We have no reason to trade him, unless we're truly blowing it up, which at that point, anybody worth a dime should be traded. I'm fine watching him retire a Penguin.
That being said, there is no reason for the Habs to want him EXCEPT of the whole Quebec thing (I'm originally from Montreal).
Montreal trading for Letang makes no sense, unless it's something like Brendan Gallagher and David Savard for Letang and a 3rd-round pick. Of course, I doubt the Penguins want to make that deal.
Denial doesn't change the truth. Your whole core is old. Not aging. Old. It's not going to make it any easier to watch them all gas out again and fall short. Just get on with the rebuild. Nobody wants to watch the draft and hear about how you have 3 guys who were in the NHL before your first round pick was born. Make the tough choice and tell the big three it's time to think about some changes. Most greats have played for more than one team. Would you rather have another cup ring or be able to say you stuck it out until the wheels fell off with one franchise?

A lot of the trade threads by Hab's fans in recent years seem to be them putting stock in various rumor mongers, analysts, commentators and websites that have either never broken or story or gotten one right.

I think this is Madden writing high-click-probability articles in mid-August. Pretty easy to connect the dots as Letang is from around Montreal and I believe there was speculation that he might like to end his career there.
Right now though, it just doesn't make sense. He's still a solid dman at $6mil. Still skates well, offense is decent. I just don't see what possible deal could be work with Montreal. The players they might want to send out make no sense for the Penguins to take on. Maybe in a couple of years.

Other then Mario is there any other Penguins that have played their whole career with the team that are retired?

I mean, yes? You could look at a guy like Morozov. Played with the Pens and then left for the RSL/KHL. I'm sure there are examples of middle-ground players that have only played for the Penguins in their careers.
As far as significant talent like Mario, Sid, etc - no, just Mario. Sid is tracking that way. As is Geno I believe.

How is there actual discussion on this? It’s been debunked as Madden has no sources and has never gotten anything correct. His last claim of Malkin retiring was shot down by Malkin himself.
All this is doing is giving attention and clicks to Pittsburgh’s mix of Eklund, Jabba the Hut, and Alex Jones.

Got to love it when players are washed all sudden want to come to Montreal. How about, no. 6.1mill for next 4 years. Maybe if Pens give up 5 x 1st rounders and some top prospects. Which they don't even have.
It would be really cool for all three of them to stay with the pens till the end but maybe I'm just sentimental. I suffered from seeing Brodeur in a Blues Jersey. seeing one of the pens stars in a Caps or Flyers jersey would be wrong.
