A trade around Dach for Malkin would need to have the Pens add, but I wouldn't dismiss the value of Malkin to this team, even for just two years.

Malkin will provide leadership, and I bet Cole, Demidov, Laine and Slaf would love to have that C option available to them. Those two years allows Hage, Beck and whomever else we draft time to develop. Malkin makes trading Dvo even easier, and as much as I don't want to trade him, we would be able to afford tradin Evans as well if the right price comes through.

Having said that, Pens would have to add a really good asset to get it done, and I don't think they would be willing to do that. Dach for Malkin straight up or with a mediocre asset attached I would never do in a million years.

Dach's trade value is in the toilet; there is no reason to trade him. I also doubt Newhook has more value than a 2nd. Pro scouting needs to be reevaluated and do a better job because we gave up pretty solid assets here and don't have a guaranteed 2nd line center from it. I'm not going to count the likes of Matheson/Laine/Monahan since we essentially got paid to take them on or had to take them on to make the trade work.

Dach to Pittsburgh would be a match according to Bret Hart:

Dach for Malkin and a 1st. Giving away 10 years of Dach production, need need to compensate as Habs aren't competing for years Malkin is here.

Suffice it to say, they're not good trade partners for Dach.
