To Pittsburgh:
- Sean Monahan
- Adam Ruzicka
- 2022 Conditional 1st (Malkin must resign otherwise it's a 2nd)
- Derek Ryan (To match salaries)

To Calgary:
- Evgeni Malkin

No from PIT and possibly no from Calgary as well. Penguins downgrade for most likely a 2nd and Calgary isn’t ready for a cup so no point in getting older.

Make it Ryan and a bag of pucks with Malkin @75% retained and you have a deal.

No from Pittsburgh Monahan sucks, Ryan is okay but is a 4th liner, 2nd and Ruzika provide little in value. Switch Monahan with someone with actually value.

Also it’s illegal to have a condition on a pick based on a player re-signing.

Monahan could be a nice 2C, but there should be more young talent going.

Monahan, valimaki, bennett and a 1st for malkin.

Monahan sucks yet Nylander is a “superstar” according to vbb’s. He has 3 seasons of 30 plus goals, an 80 point year and plays the more important position. I’m still waiting on Nylander’s 90 point year you mentioned, also stating that he’s better than Marner.

@Nylandee
Yea all Monahan does is score goals, the hardest thing to do in the NHL. He has more goals than anyone in his draft class including Barkov and McKinnon. Yea you’re right, he sucks. And Ryan, a 4th liner, as you said, is ok. Great logic.

Monahan is a 3rd line centre that benifits by playing with Guadreau he can’t score he just taps in what Monahan puts on his tape. I don’t think Nylander is a superstar I think he’s on par with Ehlers and Konechny. I’d say Monahan is on par with Eric Staal.

Monahan is a great player. Any team would love to have him, he’s just not flashy. He does his job, does it very well and doesn’t make much noise.

But how you could prefer a flashy, high risk player with far worse stats makes zero sense to me. Ask any GM in the league who they would rather out of Monahan and Nylander and it will be the shortest conversation you’ve ever had. And that’s before we point out he makes $500k+ less than Nylander.

lol

Monahan > Nylander
Ehlers > Nylander
Konecney > Nylander

There's absolutely no way Calgary would trade Monahan for old declining Malkin and his expensive contract with only 1 year left after this one. Not even 1 for 1, far far less with the ridiculous extra adds suggested here.

You have no idea about Gaudreau either. He doesn't make anyone look good, rather he drags them down with his disappearing act.

I honestly wouldn’t do it mainly based on age and contract, and @Nylander would Nylander benefit from playing with Tavares/Matthews given your logic considering he’s awful defensively aswell and not as good offensively as Monahan...

@Toronto17 He actually said Nylander is better than Marner? got to wonder how little he thinks it'd take to get Marner then. :)

@MoxNix, he also said that I was foolish for saying trading Robertson for help now makes sense. Being a good team trying to be a great team. He went on to say that Robertson is a cpl years away from being better than Marner too. He will make a good point and I start to take him serious and then he comes out with something like that 🤦🏼‍♂️.

Yes he said Nylander is better than Marner a couple years ago. He also said Nylander is a 90 point guy. Maybe he’ll be man enough to admit it.

When did I ever say Nylander is better then Marner I have never said that you’re making things up. Did I say the leafs would be smarter to Move one of their big contracts rather then a cheap Nylander? Yes I did. Nylander is the 4th best player on the leafs. I’ll end this discussion as there is no sense talking about it because Nylander will retire a leaf ( Mathews won’t ) and Monahan will fade away once Guadreau signs in Philly.

You said Nylander will be better than Marner a couple years back. Are you denying the 90 points too? You’ve said a lot of things over the years that made people’s heads spin. You were just a young lad so we let it slide, most of the time.

@nylander yeah not to pick fun at you or anything but you did say Nylander was better than Marner...

Monahan had 22 goals his rookie year before gaudreau joined the team. He was 2nd on the team in goals, and 5th in points with 34, flames were terrible that year, but he still scored a bunch.

I did not I said Marner will outscore McDavid and win a Hart trophy while having a better career then Patrick Kane. I still think that. I think Marner scores 120 points in a year and Nylander will hit 90.
