Malkin is slotted on 2nd line is because Crosby is on 1st line, that doesn't mean he is a 2nd line type of player, it can only be interpreted Penguins have a deep line up. While Crosby was injured, Malkin was carrying the team. We will have a tough time tonight.
BTW, I have my SENS shirt on all day.
Buy out Emery's contract, let Redden to sign with other teams, but definitely keep Spezza, you never give up your franchise player unless you can get a franchise player for return.
