Isn't he injury prone? I feel like he is always injured.

He is an elite goal scorer but like many have said above, no way I want a 30 year old making almost $10m/year for like 6 more seasons. I am sure he will still be scoring a lot of goals for the rest of his career but I just wouldn't give up our top end, young talent to win now. I'd rather have Bennett, Monahan and Johnny for 20 years, not 5 good years of Malkin. We would have to give up a lot to get him and that just isn't what this organization is going to do right now.

I also agree that PIT doesn't have the balls to trade him. I wonder if a team like Buffalo or Carolina would make a pitch for him. Buffalo has loads of great prospects and they would afford to give up some of them to get a guy like Malkin. Kane and Malkin on the same line, now that would be scary.
