It took me nearly a day to get through this whole thread. And I think it went completely down the drain after the first few posts.
I will add my input: I do feel Redline is always out there with an agenda to have the ability to SAY in the future that they called it if Malkin became the obvious better player. And why not do it? It'd give them mucho cred. But it makes them look rather outlandish and unprofessional to say that and be so blatant about it. It's not the first time they've touted kids to go high and be amazing (Chistov over Kovalchuk if anyone remembers that crock of crap) and etc. I like reading their stuff for entertainment but I think it's silly to use them as a source for information and such in a situation like this.
