Because Kunitz and Dupuis clearly suck playing with him.
/sarcasm
but seriously, why break up what is maybe the best line in the NHL right now?
The Pens looked great without Letang today. They should trade him to Philly. - Marc D
i worry that the flyers are going to be the team to give him that huge deal next year. would literally be devastating. i truly believe you add letang to this flyers team and they have at least a few more wins right now.

he wouldn't be another candidate to take a "hometown" discount to continue playing with "Cindy" & Gino?

of the Neal-Malkin-Crosby-MAF-Letang core, I think he is the least likely to take a hometown discount. If he leaves as a UFA (don't think it will happen, I think Shero either signs him this summer or trades him) but if he does leave, I could see him go to Montreal.
Puck moving defensemen that also play a decent physical and defensive game aren't easy to find so Shero could def. get a good haul for him, probably better than Staal's package, but the Penguins def. have the prospects to take over for him in a few years.

Honestly, If I had to choose, I would keep him MAF, Neal & either one of Cindy or Gino,
I know you have young guys in the system, but he's a proven commodity & you can't replace a guy like him anytime soon.
I always thought that either one of Cindy or Gino would have to go because of salary cap situation, tough paying 2 forwards $17 mill
