For as illustrious a career as Malkin has had, I don't think he's worth nearly that much at this point. McCann is scoring at a higher pace than him this season. It makes no sense for the Kraken to give up all those valuable assets when it's debatable whether swapping those two would even represent a near term upgrade, and certainly wouldn't be a long term one for Seattle.

I agree the trade value is lopsided. It's tough gauging the trade value of a Hall of Famer like Malkin. The time to trade him was 2-3 years ago. At this point Pittsburgh has a tough call to make. Any trade return will be underwhelming.

I’d rather keep Timmins tbh

focus on making an ECF

1.1m can be better used elsewhere

Hes been hurt to much take what u can get the cap space

The focus is winning the Stanley Cup with Dubas now gone. Pittsburgh saved the Leafs from him. I will forever be grateful.

the 2025 1st probably going to SJS.
None of this is good for the penguins.

The leafs won't win the Stanley cup this year, and unless they have a massive overhaul in the summer, they won't next season either. Treliving has done nothing.

Best of luck though, it's only been 57 years!
