Oh boy, no, just not going to happen. No chance of either team doing this.

Malkin + fleury to Islanders

Tavares To Penguins

PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, Tavares is franchised Isles marketing built around him. No chance he's moved unless its at the deadline next year when he's UFA.

 

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

truly think penguins are a better team with Malkin for the next two years than Tavares just my opinion.

 

[molon labe]

Geno is typically traded in the summer - it would be rare for a deal to happen during the season.

 

[seafoam]

This doesn't appear to be a realistic proposal.

 

[KingDeathMetal]

Honestly, this seemed ridiculous at first, but the more I think about it the more it probably works for both teams. Pens clear major cap space, and acquiring Tavares keeps them a contender to repeat.

Isles lose their franchise guy, but with the way things are going in Brooklyn, they might be losing him anyway. At least now they'd be getting back another superstar who is better than Tavares anyway when healthy, as well as a star goalie. Their on-ice product would improve. Prob not a great long-term deal for the Isles though.

Malkin trade proposals? Is it April already?

Neither team does this.

This is a bad proposal.

 

[Drew4u]

Terrible deal for isles. Tavares is 4 years younger better contract more healthy and is equal to Malkin when both healthy.

...but you get another goalie, you don't have enough of those

If there's something the Islanders need, it's a 4th goalie.

Pass, even if Tavares is younger I'd rather have Geno

Malkin can't go to the Islanders because the Pens are too busy trading him to Chicago next summer

 

[Rectify]

As a Penguins fan I would definitely consider this. Not sure why the Isles would want to make this kind of trade.

Huh. I thought Malkin was traded to LA 9 years ago.

 

[PensandCaps]

easy yes for the pens. isles, easy pass. geno=JT. but younger and cheaper.

 

[DearDiary]

Tavares only has this season and next left on his contract, then he's UFA. Malkin is signed until 2022.

Malkin will definitely be the better player over the rest of Tavares contract, so what does this do for the Pens?

 

[SEALBound]

Huh. I thought Malkin was traded to LA 9 years ago.

True. I read stories about him being unhappy their and having rifts with Koptiar.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Crazy trade that would never happen for about a billion reasons, but sure, I'd do it.
