Well the trade deadline is in two weeks, but this was the best thread on HF Boards. There were a couple stupid threads like Marty St. Louis to Pittsburgh. And another one with Serge I QUIT Koststisyn and USS Hal Gill to Pittsburgh, but the Value of Evgeni Malkin takes the cake.
So early on in the thread, I think the best trade proposal I have ever seen came up.

God and a 2nd round pick
|
| |
Yep, seems about right.
The first realistic trade offer comes from the Vancouver Canucks:
Evgeni Malkin
Ryan Kesler, Jake Ballard, Jordan Scroeder, pick
And they started this thread because it would be "fun" and because Malkin is injury prone, uhhhh isn't Ryan Kesler injured every other week?
Not an unfair trade but stupid trade. Can't see Malkin playing somewhere they burn the city down just because they lose.
Then the Blues come in with an offer.
David Perron, Patrick Berglund, TJ Oshie
Evgeni Malkin, Tyler Kennedy
If the Blues want Tyler Kennedy, especially for Perron, Berglund, or Oshie, take him. But not even close value to Geno, IMO. But I don't really hate the Blues so whatever.
Then we have our typical Toronto trade offer.
Evgeni Malkin
Mikael Grabovski, Jake Gardiner, Matt Frattin, Joe Colborne, 2013 1st, 2014 1st
All the LOLs. Leafs fans are idiots. No comment, but Leafs fans are still living in 1967 without a salary cap I guess. Seeing Malkin's name next to the Leafs logo is vomit cityyyyyy.
Then some Predators fan says if Geno signs long term in Nashville, then whatever you want, but offered this:
Evgeni Malkin
Shea Weber, Roman Josi, and Colin Wilson
First off, Shea Weber can't be traded until July bro, Malkin probably will re-signed by that date. Second, no way on that cap hit. Plus Josi is a Defenseman, Pens don't really need those, and the fact to add two is just stupid.
And then oh looky here, another Leafs proposal. *Facepalm*
Evgeni Malkin
Jake Gardiner, Mikael Grabovski, Clarke MacArthur, 2 1sts.
The only good thing about that trade would be Clarke couldn't score against the Pens, although he probably would find a way to do it anyways.

Not sure how this came about, Jamie Benn would be cool with Crosby, but uhh not for the price of Malkin. Toronto got fleeced by their own fan though LOL.

The question should be, what can you offer the Penguins that would give them a better shot at winning the cup this year than a healthy Evgeni Malkin? So far nothing comes close to that in this thread

About time someone gets it. Props to this dude.
And if Leafs fans are bad, then Habs fans might be just as bad and always get every player, so here's a Habs trade. The thought of Geno in Montreal is already making me want to jump in front of a bus.
Evgeni Malkin
Alex Galchenyuk, Rene Bourque, Nathan Beaulieu, 1st
Galchenyuk is really the only intriguing part about this deal, and he's a rookie so no idea how he progresses. Be right back going to light myself on fire.

I would like to see Malkin go to a team out west - I hate seeing the two best players in the NHL on one team. I mean if Kobe and Lebron played on the same team in the NBA it would be just weird... and it would be fun seeing them actually battle against each other. If the Pens got two young top players they consider it. It would be good for the NHL. And then we can see if Crosby can win a cup with out Malkin in all seriousness he likely doesn't though.

Agree with the last part, Malkin probably doesn't go anywhere but stupid logic.
Then this.
Evgeni Malkin
Sam Gagner, Ales Hemsky, 1st
Gagner and Hemsky are great players, but not Evgeni Malkin caliber. So not quite enough bro
I'll let you guys dissect the next part because I have no clue what the hell happened.

Evgeni Malkin
Corey Perry, Peter Holland, 1st, and Average Prospect
Sorry bro, but Malkin > Perry for virtually same cap hit. Cute try though, throw in Charlie Conway, Guy Germaine, and Lester Averman and maybe.
Last trade I'm going to dissect and then I'll link you guys to the rest of this because it truly is just ridiculous and stupid.
Evgeni Malkin
Anze Kopitar, Mike Richards, Dustin Brown, Jonathan Bernier, 1st
Uh, yeah, I would probably do that if the Cap was at like $100 million. Sure take everyone who just won a cup and put it with this Pens team, great idea. Just like everyone in Hollywood.
If only this was included in that trade.
Reunited with Dry Island
