So, Malkin landed in Ottawa, took a look around, and decided he wanted to go back to Pennsylvania!
To Philly - Malkin
To Ottawa - Pyotr Kochetkov, Ondrej Becher.
In addtion, Philly sends Ottawa their own 2025 3rd round pick to complete the Arvidsson trade.
Honestly trading Malkin was hard, but he is getting older, and Kochetkov should improve. I really like Becher, who exploded last year in junior, which led to him being drafted as a double over-ager.
Now a hole at center again, but lots of time, and the trades are the best part for me.
Thanks, JonDuke.
