If Malkin ever plays for another NHL team, I'd be surprised if it wasn't Florida.

Agreed, but (not to hijack the thread) but I did have a very interesting thought the other day

-Geno's contract is up in 2 years. Barkov is a UFA the same summer.
-Florida continues to be mired in mediocrity, Barkov waits on an extension and decides it's time to win some hardware.
-Geno has a quick word (in Russian, not Finnish) with Barkov, tells him to sign in Pittsburgh. Then Kapanen gives him the same spiel, Finn to Finn.
-Geno reups with the Pens for relative peanuts in order to get a couple of more kicks at the can. He mentors Barkov, one giant playmaker to another.

I recognize this is a fever dream and all part of the "we're going to suck in 5 years" coping process, but...

Even if Malkin would sign cheap we should not make that deal. Can't have two old centers in your top two.
