Florida Panthers: Breaking Down Both Sides of Evgeni Malkin Trade Rumor

The rumor contains two-time Art Ross winner, Hart Memorial winner, and three-time Stanley Cup champion center Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

First reported by the Athletic’s Josh Yohe, Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford revealed that he was “unsure” of Malkin’s future with the organization (note: the article is behind a paywall).

The Penguins have started to decline as of late, failing to win a playoff game this season after being swept in the first round by the New York Islanders.

Their core has started to decline, with Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Malkin all into their early thirties.
