I heard this tsn saying they want to do the move but gaborik isn't sign to a contract so pittsburg doesn't want another rental player and gaborik doesn't wanna play with Min next year also nother possibility gaborik going to vancouver cuz they have the cap space and he wants to play with his best friend demitra there. This trade is just for crosby to have someone on the wing to play with.
What are your thoughts on this trade rumour |

This entire thread is retarded!! I mean, sure, there have been some bad trades in NHL history, but Malkin for Gaborik would be up there. I think it's a bad joke. |

ROFL wow the last post was obviously made by an NBA fan, we are talking about the NHL dude. Malkin is tearing it up right now... ???
He's league leader in points and in assists, trolling in an anonymous forum wow... lol...
Also, who in thier right mind would trade a superstar like Malkin for a rental like Gaborik?? wow this post is oozing lack of knowledge all over the place, it's making a mess. |

If i was Pitsburg and your talking about a deal Malkin for Gaborik. Im saying yes on this one Gaborike is my favourite player in the NHL. I mean Gaborik sets up well scores goals and Mlakin hasnt been doing very well. Hes has to pick it up. |

There are two huge issues with this deal.
1) Malkin is signed to a reasonable contract, both in terms of length and value. Gaborik on the other hand is not. From what I have read, Gaborik has already stated he is not interested in coming back to Minny unless he gets a long term contract in the range of $8 million a season.
2) Gaborik is injury prone. Malkin does not appear to be. In X season, Gaborik has played an average of 59 games a year in his 8 seasons in the league. For his first 3, he looked ok playing 71, 78, and 81 respectively. Last year he played in 77 as well, but he has been proned to that glass groin injury. Malkin has missed only 4 games in two seasons.
If Gaborik wants to test the market, that is his choice, but I think $8 million for a player who produces under a PPG for his career and played less than 60 games is a year is a stretch.
I have heard a ton of rumors around Gaborik, but none mentioning Malkin. I have heard Gaborik to LA for 1st round picks, and a couple of their up and comers (O'Sullivan was mentioned), I have also heard Gaborik for Bouwmeester. Both seem to be more realistic than Malkin. |

a winger that can score 40+ goals a season when not injured is worth it when playing with crosby some could argue |

Well it is a rumor but that would never happen, Gaborik AKA the man of glass doesn't play enough games to be worth as much as Malkin

We all know the possibility of this trade is zero (0). The big question in my mind is Guest6740 smoking and where can I get some. |

lol Beans! Hilarious! I haven't laughed that hard for a long time! But I agree, there is no way this trade happens. Gabby will be traded by the deadline but it will not be for Malkin. If that happens, Shero should be fired.

Malkin just signed a long term deal with Pitt, is younger, more durable, and more productive that Gaborik.
There is only 2 ways this trade would ever happen.
1) Mario Lemiuex picks up a nasty gambling habit and can not pay the Penguins salary so he cuts and slashes.
or
2) Ulf Samuelsson hits Lemieux in the head with a sledgehammer and gives him brain damage.
Regardless of what anyone thinks, Mario runs that team. No one puts out a memo without Super Mario's rubber stamp.
I guess what I am saying is that you have a better chance of winning the lotto in Nigeria than this trade happening. |

cause they think crosby is one man team is a possibility |

That's is a ridiculous trade. Malkin is by far the better player, and way younger. Why on earth would Pittsburgh trade a guy who is a franchise player for an injury prone, albeit superstar winger who is older? Unless Minnesota throws in another player or a 1st round pick, no way Shero makes that move. |
