I think I would welcome Hodgson here. I thought when he was in Vancouver that he would be a good 2nd or 3rd line centre. He is a big body who play RW as well. Sign him for a year and see how it goes.
Like others mentioned he will have likely better fits elsewhere but maybe he just needs a little kick in the butt, Hartley and co. are good at that. There is more leadership here to help him get on the right track too.
I don't think Malkin is traded this off season, I think closer to the deadline next season. I think Pitt tries for one more season of making the playoffs and then we see a rebuild. I could see him wanting out to become the star of a team. He is a star and one of the top 5 players in the league IMO, who would he waive to go to? Florida? Tampa? LA? Now that would be scary if he was in LA.
