The chatter here is that it may not be feasible to keep Crosby-Malkin-Staal. Do you keep Staal as a formidible, young #2 center or keep Malkin to be a backup to Crosby in case of injury?
I wonder about Malkin, he played so well when the eggshell capt was out nursing his cracked skull and he seemed to recede again in the playoffs when sid was back. i think he would perform better if he weren’t in the background.
