Shero will likely have to go hunting for bargain basement 3rd/4th liners and 3rd pairing guys at or around league minimum.

I feel like, if they were to trade Letang, they'd believe that Simon Despres or Joe Morrow was ready to fill that spot.

That's true an in-house replacement would make the most sense. Letang wouldn't fetch as much as Malkin, it's going to be interesting.

The best he can do is a seven-year deal somewhere else versus an eight-year deal here. Unless he makes up that figure somewhere else -- where they'd have to add around 1.2mm or so onto each year -- it makes no economic sense for this enigmatic, greedy, lackadaisacal Eurotrash Russian to sign anywhere else.
Carrying two cap hits between 8.7-10 over 8 years isn't as bad as it sounds, particularly with a cap guaranteed never to go below ~65mm. Its also comparable to what some other teams have done if a bit higher, and Mirtle's cap projections indicate that the by the end of the CBA we could be looking at a 90mm ceiling ( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/h ... le7029575/ ).
Sid's already acknowledged that Malkin will likely have a higher cap figure than he will, simply because of the fact that you can't do a 12-year deal any longer. If I had to guess, I'd say 8 years, 78 million, coming at 9.75. To compare, if you're another team, that same contract is 7 years, 78 million, for a 11.15 cap hit. As far as I know, no one has ever hit a higher AAV than Ovechkin's 9.5mm. I find it hard to believe that after the lockout, and with the rules in place to prevent owners from committing economic suicide, you'd see someone willing to do a new non-circumvention deal at 11mm plus.
I sign him if he's anywhere between 8.7-10.

I'm fine with that lineup but how did the Pens get Staal back? :scared:

71 Million 8 Year Contract (Max Years under new CBA)
8.875 cap hit/per year. Crosby won't care at all. Lets call it the little bit extra for those longer flights back to Russia contract. I'd put 500 bucks down right now that's the exact contract he gets after this season.
Nizzy answered the thread, you are free to lock + sticky it Three Stars.
No dumping Malkin :)
