Value of: Penguins Impending UFA's Malkin, Letang, Rust (With Up to 50% Retention)

[Pyrophorus]

They haven't missed the playoffs in the Crosby/Malkin era - and they won't this year.

The fact that they're having a bad start to the season just means one of Crosby/Malkin is more likely than usual to end up a hart finalist this year, as they'll have to carry their team back to contention. Win/win if you're a Pens fan

Like many things in this league: It is, until its not.
or the reverse

 

[Gurglesons]

1st in 2022 , 2nd 2023 and Engvall from the leafs for Rust at 50% retention.

What about Mikheyev instead of Engval?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

How many guys do you f***ing need?

Kuch, Point, Stammer, Hedman, Vasilevsky, and now Geno?

That would be hockey’s version of the 2017 Golden State Warriors

 

[Darren McCord]

Malkin as a rental to Colorado?

What would Pittsburgh want back?

Malkin at 50% + Dumo at 50% for Newhook, Girad, and a 1rst

 

[Jerkbait]

Why Dumoulin to the west coast? He's from Maine so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd like to stay close (and by close I mean anywhere on the east coast).

Usually they don't like trading inside their own conference. Add the pens and ducks have a good history and the weather is good!!! Did see a report about the Oilers being interested as well

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I would be very very interested in Letang and Rust.

Letang Rielly

Muzzin Brodie

Would be an incredible top 4

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

For Malkin I think is Penguins, or back to Russia.

Doubt that, I see Geno playing in NY if he decides to leave.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I never heard about NY but the Dallas rumor probably started in 2014 because Gonchar (His bestfriend) was playing for the Stars.

I believe the rumor came from his Dad, he mentionned NY and Montreal

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

What about Mikheyev instead of Engval?

I'd prefer Engvall.

Aside from being injury prone, Mikheyev would annoy the f*** out of me with the number of chances he gets that get squandered because of his stone hands.

 

[Mick Jagr]

Feel Malkin could chase a 4-5yr deal elsewhere.

If somebody pays Malkin until he's 40 then they've made a mistake. That somebody is likely going to be Pittsburgh.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Rust to Edmonton or Toronto makes sense.
Zucker back to minny
Dumo to west coast
Letang to Calgary
Demsith for any pick
Pens keep Jake Kapanen sid marino jarry ( unfortunately).
Malkin is given the option

Calgary doesn't need defense, they would want Rust or Malkin for a cup run

 

[cneely]

The way the Jets are playing, they look like a potential contender to me. Forwards and goal are set, and their d is solid, but missing that clear cut number 1.

Letang for a first and good prospect? Jets have guys like Rashevsky, Lucuis, Samberg and Chibrikov as secondary prospects, but would probably balk at either Perfetti or Heinola for a rental. They would also probably have to throw someone in for cap reasons. Maybe Demelo?

Does some combination of those prospects and picks get something done?

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

1st in 2022 , 2nd 2023 and Engvall from the leafs for Rust at 50% retention.

That’s a lot for a winger that rode Crosbys coat tales for the majority of his success…..

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

L’étang just this week went on the record and said that Montreal would Interetest him. With Weber retiring( probably) and Petry potentially being trade bait( as per rumOrs) we could definitely use a puck moving champion RD.

Letang Rielly

Muzzin Brodie

Would be an incredible top 4

Isn’t Letang a RD?

His NTC may complicate things, but I think Letang brings back more than this. The last semi-comparable player to Letang that has been traded was Shattenkirk, who was moved for Sanford, a 1st and a conditional 2nd. Letang's a complete step above Shattenkirk, so I'd expect even more than that.

I'd expect something similar in the mold to the Taylor Hall trade, where there were multiple good assets instead of any truly great assets going back for Hall. I'd expect something like 2 1sts and a B level prospect (on par with someone like Bahl) or something like that for Letang.

I think they could probably make a legit package with the assets mentioned (Chibrikov, Rashevsky, Lucuis, Samberg) and some combination of picks.

You're right though, his NTC may be an issue. Depends if he believes Winnipeg has a shot at going deep.

Don't the Leafs already have Marner and Nylander ahead of Rust? That just seems like a lot of unnecessary spending to upgrade your third line.

 

[PocketNines]

What is the price on Dumoulin?

 

[Jerkbait]

Leta

Letang is a clear up grade . Malkin isn't waving to go to Calgary. Rust will have interest everywhere.

Would definitely have time for Dumo in Edmonton if he'd go.

What would the ask be?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Isn’t Letang a RD?

Rielly can play both sides

Ah ok

See the key word there is upgrade, Bryan Rust would be an upgrade
