Malkin is a dumb idiot who hurts his team more than he helps. Especially now, at this stage of his career and his health condition. Cap hit of 6,1 mln is way too big for what he provides on the ice, especially in playoffs.
Apparently the team management consider the last few seasons a great success, because they are going to basically bring back the same team. Same core, same goaltending, same coaching staff... Except the "stars" are yet another year older and even more washed out and unmotivated.
It's sad that the franchise has forgone an opportunity to refresh itself, turn the page, move in the new direction and start building a new, young contending team. Now we are stuck with at least 3-4 more years of limbo and mediocrity. This washed out core will be struggling to make the playoffs and then get spanked in the first round. While at the same time they won't be able to draft high and get prime psospects who would become new cornerctones of the next generation.
It's sad.
