Malkin again?

Hawks clear cap space for Malkin. You cant make this stuff up....oh wait

Stan Bowman is the definition of an accidental genius.

Don Sweeney agrees.

Malkin and Stamkos to Chicago (E4)
- DeflatedPucks

But wait, there's more! Chicago also to get Lundqvist, Gostisbehere and Ovechkin. Also, in what appears to be an attempt to meat the little known "Super Duper salary cap floor," the Blackhawks will receive the rights to Pronger.



Don't ask why, just click click click!

- all-pgh

They clear only to get in trouble again once they trade for Malkin

Malkin cannot be traded to Chi without Toews or Kane going back.
- Champ

Which is why IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Chicago has $61m still on the cap for only 14 players. They still can't sign a full roster unless they move another salary. If this deal sets the floor value on the cost of moving a bad salary, it just got expensive.

What's assests do the hawks have to trade for Malkin? I can't see them moving Kane toews hossa kieth Seabrook... Perhaps they move Crawford as well
- jt6766

No way the pens would take Hossa or Seabrook as a key piece to a Malkin trade.

Anyone who thinks TT is going to be a "Star" didn't watch any Hawks games last year. Good riddance Stan is a genius.

Malkin is not being the traded. There is no reason to. And why would Cchicago take on a third 10 million dollar contract? The Hawks got hosed here TT is going to be a star and they used him as a cap dump? Stupid.

That's what I thought too looks like the wings might be eating datsyuks cap hit next season

So Malkin is leaving PIT cause he wants to be "the man" (EK's words, not mine) and Chicago is the ONLY place he'll go? Makes sense yep....

I think he is a good player but Chicago did pretty well with that one.

Who would be the next guy to go? Crawford or Hossa? Awesome as Hossa is, with the length of his contract I wonder if he might be a guy they shop also.

Don Sweeney's pee is what makes the bruin's logo yellow.

Ta Daaaaa, Fixed

I love you.

earth shattering news!

I don't mind this deal at all....it had to include a sweetener and if it was to be anyone young TT makes sense...For anyone that watched most Hawks games this past season should be ok with this...getting sick of the 'he's gonna be a star'...he regressed.
As for Malkin....no way...they are clearing space to keep their guys....now if a seasoned veteran comes along and wants to take a discount to have a great chance at a cup, fine, but adding a 10mil contract makes no sense.

Last off-season TT and Dano were gonna be studs, now, good riddance

Malkin is going to Winnipeg.....gets to be "The Man", gets to play with the kid, Wheeler, who plays his type of game, on his wing. Buff on the PP and protecting him

They have the cap room. They are the perfect fit

Book it. Geno in the 'Peg

and why's Malkin always gotta be mentioned?
- DeflatedPucks

Because EK is a dippoop

He wants to go to Chicago to try and win a Cup.........

Yeah, that's where stamkos is going too right?

I thought you said Malkin wants a trade to be "the guy". Why would he go to CHI then with Toews and Kane? Makes no sense. He'll be in Pitt.

uh... you expect too much or haven't been around here long enough to know how EK operates...
