Yeah, if McCann and Horny are gonna be on the same line, you need a playmaker who can really dish the puck (regardless of where McCann slots in).
And ours isn't?

I'm just looking at Rutherford's moves and seeing his comments and wondering whether Malkin or Letang is being moved because no other moves save this team cap.
If Rutherford does not move one of the three...either Letang..Malkin..or Hornqvist I don't see how we are a better team......Alex Pietrangelo is going to get a Kings ransom waaay over payment..

If AP is only wanting to go to a contender, he's not getting a king's ransom. We'll see where he ends up. On a legit team, I'd expect something in the 8-10 range.
It sounds like he's not leaving St. Louis over money as much as not being prioritized by St. Louis when re-signing their players.
Geno = NMC, Sid wants him here, Mario wants him here and most important, Geno wants to be here...he’s not going anywhere and stop suggesting it
Letang= harder to trade with modified NMC but the likelihood there’s a trade out there that makes us as good or better and improves our blueline while saving cap space is not a good one...1% chance of being traded...
Trading Hornqvist or Zucker (similar cap hits) or a combination of McCann and JJ, if you can do that without taking much cap back, is the way to go if the team wants save some money and/or sign someone in FA (and I’m including RFAs who might not be qualified)

I'm sure JR's floating it out there that he'll listen on everyone. But he ain't moving 71 for Glass. It'd take an ideal situation for ownership to ok moving him anyway.
This is exactly the problem....country club to comfortable playing in the same atmosphere with bad results...one of the 3 I named should be traded....but both teams have to get what they want for it..

I'd rather have Glass then anything that is available on the Florida roster or system.

I guess the caveat is if we are seeing Rutherford moving one of Malkin or Letang.

I really, really don't think that's happening. Or should.
But I mean... save this quote for laughs later.

If JR is moving Malkin for that, he clearly doesn't give a f*** about competing for the next couple years.

I would never trade Malkin, but what if TB wanted to trade Stamkos for Malkin straight up. If TB wanted a shakeup and if Malkin wanted to play in Florida and he would have fellow Russian Kucherov. Stamkos has 1M less cap hit but is signed 2 years longer.
I think TB needs to shed salary too though. Is the value way off?

I literally made an account to point out how absurd this statement is.
You'd rather have Cody Glass...over Barkov?

That’s interesting. Malkin lives in Florida. Pens could use a RH shot, Stamkos has a good one. Is Stamkos more a center or winger?

Could Burkle afford the increase in medical insurance premium that bringing Stamkos on board would cause?

Over the past 6 years, Malkin has missed 3 more games than Stamkos (90/87).

I get this feeling they’re gonna ask horny to waive his clause for a team he’d like to play for and we take what we can get.
its not a massive shakeup, but moving on from Schultz, Bjug, Murray, Sheary, Marleau and whoever else he needs to, then adding Kapanen, a FA 3C(unless mccaan is it)or D and allowing Poulin, POJ, etc the chance to play, is still significant, IMO.
