Zach6668 513 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mario and Shero are apparently meeting with Jagr today.I want this to happen, just for nostalgia's sake. He DID tear it up at the WCs against NHL caliber teams. He could be a 50 point guy, maybe? He's a bit slow, so I'd like him on Geno's like, if he does sign. Geno tends to slow things down much more than Sid. Jagr is all about puck possession though, so I think he'd fit into Bylsma's system just fine. He's an absolute beast on the boards.

Jagr still has great hands and size and he should help on the PP at the least. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Per Dreger I'm told chances aren't good Max Talbot re-signs in Pittsburgh. UFA market should give him plenty of options. Thanks for game 7. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I heard he turned down a 3-year deal. He's not worth as much as he made last year, so I imagine the Pens low-balled him and gave him an extra year as compensation. He'll make some money on July 1st, and good for him. Will miss him, but the Pens don't really need him. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wacky yet semi possible scenario:With the rumours that Eklund is throwing out there about Malkin to Toronto rumours, is this possible.Malkin is traded to Toronto and then is replaced by Brad Richards. Malkin has stock has fallen over the last couple of years, mainly due to his injuries. While he was in the conversation of one of the top 3 players in the game a few years ago, that isnt around any more.He is still a great talent, however he is making a ton of money..Russian players are essentially becoming non existent in the NHL and maybe the Pens are ready to move on.Brad Richards fits in with the Penguin organization. Hard working Canadian boy from the east coast much like the face of the franchise Sidney Crosby.To acquire Malkin from Pittsburgh what would it take:Well i think with the question mark with injuries and coming off major surgery the price to acquire him wont be as high as a couple of years ago.Would a package include Kulemin? I would think it wouldnt make sense as Kulemin and Malkin played together back in Russia and from what I have heard are good friends.Here is what I propose and please dont ridicule as we are just playing fantasy games here:Toronto gets:Evgeni Malkin $8.7 millionPittsburgh gets:Toronto 2012 first round pickColby Armstrong $3 millionNazem Kadri $1.7 millionClarke Macarthur RFA $1.5 -$2.5 millNow before the Penguin fans laugh and say thats not enough i think its fair for a player that has missed over 50 games the last couple of years.Pens would save some money off the cap..Make a good run at Brad Richards..Add a former penguin solid 3rd line player in Colby, a guy coming off a career year Macarthur who can play in the top 6...Also a first round pick and a good prospect in Nazem Kadri.The Leafs get their number one centre without giving up a top 4 dman and Kulemin or Grabovski.Again this is just for fun and throwing it out there.

You have to think there are quite a few teams after Richards.I don't think Pittsburgh fans would approve of getting that package for Malkin.Even if Pittsburgh is entertaining the idea of trading Malkin, there is no way they do it until they are certain Crosby is ready to play. Guys like Colby Armstrong and Clarke MacArthur are much easier to find then guys like Malkin. Malkin is a game-breaker.I say NO to this deal. Link to post Share on other sites
