I never caught the Malone-love Bug, but if the intention is for him to come in for the top 6, no. If you get him cheap and put him in the bottom 6 and make him part of your powerplay, I'd consider it.
He'd have to be paid like a middle tier 3rd liner because that's what he is right now.
I'm still not even sold on bringing him in for that role.

I'd be fine with it if he was brought in to be a 3rd liner. When healthy, he's better than Morrow was this year. 2-3 mins pk, 8 mins even strength, 2 minutes pp a game. Sounds good to me.

Who replaces him the 30 or so games he misses?
Zolnierczyk?
He'll be easier to replace than Crosby, i'd wager.

Vitale, cause that's the only way that guy gets on the ice.

Kennedy would get to the top of the circle, fire the puck off the glass and one of them would have just reached the red line and can continue the breakout with the rebound.
Malone hasn't played a near full season since his last year with the Pens. He's much slower but can still put up points. I don't think he should play anywhere but the 3rd line. Bennett should be playing along Malkin, not Malone.

Overall, I don't see this happening.
Not sure the pens should add anyone with offensive skills to the third line if the plan is for Sutter to play a purely shutdown role.
