Malkin is turning 29 this year in July. Not far from 30, but it's not like he's over the hill just yet. Having said that, no way would I trade Bennett for him. Bennett has years on an entry level deal and subsequent contract. Malkin has what... 4-5 more years of productivity at a high price? Plus we're not hurting at C anymore. If this were 3-4 years ago and Iggy was still around, I'd make a trade for Malkin for sure.
