No chance in hell you get either of those returns. ARZ isn't trading Dvorak before the extension they gave him even kicks in.

I wouldn't like that trade if I were a Panthers fan

Panther trade is laughable at best, they’re not going to give up 2 top prospects and a first on top of a cap friendly Trocheck. I’ll reiterate that Malkin has a full NMC, unless he give a list of multiple teams he’ll waive for no team is going to overpay for him. Pens have no power in this discussion unless multiple teams are involved.

Malkin lives in Miami, Florida. There's no income tax. He'd be a 1C. I don't think it'd take much convincing.

No power? Lmao. Even if 1 team is involved, Pittsburgh still has power. You’re acting like the pens will give him away for nothing

What has he ever said that makes you believe he wants to be "THE GUY" somewhere when all he has ever said is, he enjoys that Sid has the spotlight cause he doesn't wanna be in it...

He wouldn’t be the number 1 center, Barkov is and that won’t change because of Malkin.

If Malkin states that he’ll only accept a trade to Florida then yes the Pens have only two options either accept what Tallon offers or keep a disgruntled player, and yes he will be disgruntled if he requests a trade and they don’t trade him.

There's a difference between requesting a trade and waiving a NMC.

The Penguins don't need "power" because the Penguins don't need to trade him at all. A "bidding war" is not necessary.
