News Article: Malkin would consider coming to Rangers....

[Thirty One]

Yeah, he can say that now that Pittsburgh has him locked up for a decade. Would be funny though at the beginning, it would look like Mike Rupp suddenly became Gretzky. (#71)

9 years is hardly a decade...

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Makes too much sense, he'll be what like 35 or 36 when his contracts up? Perfect typical NYR signing

9 years is hardly a decade...

Sorry, I'm no mathemagician.

 

[Thirty One]

People are all laughing off the idea of a 36 year old Malkin. I would love to get a 36 year old Malkin. His game isn't built on speed or grit, I think he'll age very well.

They said the same thing about Richards.

 

[JohnC]

Crosby or bust

 

[NYR2007]

please lord please let this off season go by faster

 

[patnyrnyg]

Yeah, I don't see where he'd fit in the lineup. I'd hate to move Moore to the wing.

is he going to have the same cap hit as Moore?

 

[Kane One]

With all this talk about Malkin around the NHL, you'd think he's a free agent.

These nine years are just going to fly by, Parker.

 

[Kane One]

These nine years are just going to fly by, Parker.

Oh, I thought it did. Or did Malkin just change his mind almost as quickly as Kovalchuk?

 

[Thirty One]

Oh, I thought it did. Or did Malkin just change his mind almost as quickly as Kovalchuk?

I don't understand the question.

 

[aufheben]

If Malkin pulled a Kovalchuk, but then returned to the NHL, he'd still be Penguins property right?

 

[Kane One]

I don't understand the question.

Kovalchuk changed his mind with the Devils and "retired" and bolted to the KHL.

Malkin won't be a free agent until 2022 and there's all this talk about him like he's a free agent. Did he change his mind?

 

[Thirty One]

If Malkin pulled a Kovalchuk, but then returned to the NHL, he'd still be Penguins property right?

Yeah, but all 30 teams would have to ok his comeback or he'd have to take a year off to return.

 

[Thirty One]

Rangers should have a lot of cap-space in the summer of 2022

 

[aufheben]

Yeah, but all 30 teams would have to ok his comeback or he'd have to take a year off to return.

So we could have him as soon as a few years?

 

[Thirty One]

So we could have him as soon as a few years?

how many days till training camp?

 

[Mr Atoz*]

He must be reading old newspapers and preparing for the day we sign 40 year old guys with 499 goals.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Good to know, especially when he's 35+ years old and on the market, too bad sathers over the whole overpaying guys that are over the hill phase.

Someone is Russia is storing the pot, there's a thread about Dallas offering Malkin some rediculous contract on the main board, great tactics KHL...

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Good to know, especially when he's 35+ years old and on the market, too bad sathers over the whole overpaying guys that are over the hill phase.

He is?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

this is even worse than the 2016 presidential elections media-covering.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

He is?

Sather fooling large portions of the fanbase each year into believing he is reformed is the greatest trick hes pulled.

 

[mulli25]

boyle + del zotto + a 2nd to sweeten the deal

do it slats

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Sather fooling large portions of the fanbase each year into believing he is reformed is the greatest trick hes pulled.

If you want to ignore the millions and millions of dollars he's paying players he signed to not play for this team, than yes, he's moved on nicely. Oh and what's the first thing he's going to do next summer?
