Someone else won't be as effective.

I expect 5-8 shorthanded goals from Malkin this year.

$1M is not bad, it is just that more than likely is just money not well spent in my view. This team will not win a Stanley Cup this year after all, then why throw the money and take away the ice-time (and NHL experience) from someone you plan on having (or at least you can see with the time if he is worth keeping) when the team is capable of contending for a cup?

I understand and agree with not using crucial players to kill off a penalty, but it doesn't hurt if you can get them on the ice in the last 20 seconds or so. It presents a problem for the other team, eases a change of players at the end of the PK (being one of them is already on the ice), and gives you some offense in the event the possibility for a SH goal arises.

I’m sure Malkin will spend SOME time killing penalties, but my point was you do not want to use him too much if you do not have to. Why would you want to have Malkin come off the ice after a PK to have Moore come on. Malkin will have about 20-24 minute of playing time, why would you want 6 or 7 minutes of that to be on the PK if someone else can be as effective. Plus if you can keep his time a couple minutes down each game the time he does get will be more effective.

Totally agree with the line up think. You are going to want your to two most of the ice time even strenth. Which is why you do not want Malkin and Crosby to kill off the last 1minute of a power play and have to put your 3rd or 4th line on.I left Ouellet of the lineup since if the trade happens then he will not be around. Talbot and Christensen will get some NHL ice time due to injuries, but another year in the minors for them to develope would not hurt them either. The UFA I was talking about signing would be a cheap 1 millon dollar sign who will not hurt you defenceively. As much as that sounds remember the worst player in the NHL make $500,000. Some like Rem Murry may fit.

that would be pretty good… i just think naslund is 33 and starting to decline. Id take him still but maybe a 2nd or 3rd round pick not a first
