EDMONTON — It’s politically correct for Pittsburgh Penguins president David Morehouse to say the hugely popular Evgeni Malkin isn’t going anywhere.
The message is ‘stop talking about trades’ — even in the wake of a 10-day playoff run for the team, even when Malkin finished the season with nary a goal in his last 15 games and no points in his last 10.
The former Hart Trophy winner does have a complete no-trade clause, so he can veto any move, but the Penguins should be listening to all pitches on Malkin.
They need help, and right now.
