Yep, if I am Treliving right now, I am calling Hextall to get permission to engage with Malkin's agent.
If Tkachuk is going to be one-and-done after this season, see how much Malkin wants for 1 year (plus bonuses) and go for it. I know people are going to say just rebuild, which I could get onboard with, but I really doubt they will. In lieu of that, go after Malkin.
If things don't work out, you have one more TDL asset to trade next season. If Tkachuk signs a longer deal, then maybe offer a 2 or 3 year deal.
