Yeah, I don't think the Pens would ever consider it from the Yotes, unless OEL would be going the other way. Plus the Pens are reasonably deep at D, there isn't really a need trading their #2 offensive threat for another D when they have Despres, Maatta, Harrington, Pouliot, etc coming up. If they needed help on D, they would probably resign Niskanen first.
We can file this as not complete impossibility, but along the same lines of alien landings in crop circles.
Don't see the Pens trading Malkin. Niskanen will probably make more than OEL next season. The speculation is that the Pens can't afford to re-sign Niskanen.
They may have trouble re-signing Sutter. That's why I speculate that the Pens may have interest in Stone and maybe even some of our cheaper depth forwards.
