I'm hearing MAF to Flypens...Stay tuned...E4

I'm hearing Flypens "cloak of invincibility" being reviewed by NHL. Stanley Cup may still be awarded to Sharks. Stay tuned...

Or to Montreal for Halak Ryder and a 2nd.

a conditional 3rd... not a 2nd... that's the going rate I believe.

Pretty sure those are Ek's words (and thoughts) and not what Malkin has said or acted like.

Nah...he pouts at times, and plays unbelievably at times. I see him sulk when 87 is on a good run, and I see him play out of his mind when 87 is on the shelf. I know EK has said similar things, but I agree.

Hey remember when people the said the cup was going west cause its superior to the east?

Good times!

The Canucks have a 2017 2nd rounder burning a hole in their pocket.......

Also, we love to get schooled in trades......

Thats bc the Penguins traded for all the Superior West players like Nick Bonino, Bonino ,Bonino, Bonino. come on man read a book

Nope...not at all.

A little surprising that Ek doesn't even leave the congratulations blog up as his top story for 24 hours (about 10 as it turns out).

You have been here long enough to know its not surprising at all. He'd just rather pretend it didn't happen and them post a rumor from "sources" about one of their most important players less than 12 hours after they win the cup.

E4 means almost done right?

Yeah I'm sure the Penguins management woke up the day after winning the cup and the first order of business was to try and trade malkin and fleury

Stop will the bullpoop. It's ridiculous

Sure it could happen this summer but they just won the damn cup last night

Malkin to Colorado for Duchene, Barrie, Boedker.

Bonino was not metioned in my book. Is he a Targaryen?

Also, raise your hand if you think MAF will waive his NTC to go to Calgary. No offense to Calgary, but this is not a team poised to win anytime soon.

If I was fleury Id rather collect my pay check and sit on the bench than waive to go to calgary.

cant see him agreeing to Winnipeg but they could offer;

Bryan Little
Kyle Conner
22nd overall

Malkin's great and all but this is the absolute most I'd offer and I think more than fair!! not doing anything close to a Lindros type thing here.

You'd think Penguins fans would be happy today but all I see are cranky posters. lol

You'd think EK would be happy the cup is coming back to Pennsylvania but all I see is "TRADE THIS. TRADE THAT!" lol

Penguins don't think about the past. Penguins had their fun last night and now already thinking about the next one. I can see 4 in a row. Easily. Nobody else in the league at their level. Not even close

Probably because it's been not even 24 hours and Ek is talking about dealing Malkin...

Not cranky with anyone but Ek. The headline of this blog when you come onto the site is pretty much the best troll job ever perpetrated on the site. Ek really takes the cake.

- DDM-Coga

ummmm yeah. I'm on this site dude. Everyone here is a (frank)ing nerd.

YOU NERDS!!!

Ek is not happy. He a filly flyer. It's like if a HAb fan cheered for the Bruins

Ek is crying all morning

Evidence Malkin wants out of Pittsburgh:

1) He truly evolved as a leader in the lockerroom this year and called the team and himself out on several occasions when they needed to be and always followed it up with a string of great performances. This clearly shows his frustration that Crosby wears the C instead of him.

2) He committed stay in Pittsburgh in the offseason in order to train up his durability so he doesn't miss large chunks of the season next year. It's not secret Malkin loves his country and loves to spend the offseason in Russia away from hockey. This clearly shows his commitment to the Pens has wavered.

3) He acted like a complete child last night after hoisting the Cup. He and Phil had the biggest smiles in the room. He was cursing up a storm and shoveling booze down his throat and when he was interview he said that he knows this won't be this team's last Cup. This shows that he's become completely indifferent to this team's success and no longer believes this is a good situation for him to succeed.


Everyone needs to stop dumping on Ek. He's clearly got this one right.

We are pretty much okay with Flower rumors though
