It's Not Going to Happen
Battle of California —
Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo!'s Puck Daddy blog passes along the rumor that the Pittsburgh Penguins offered the Kings Evgeni Malkin for the #2 pick and Mike Cammalleri. There's no way that happens, right? I mean, it's from Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun, who I guess is retarded, and plus where do the Penguins benefit from that trade?

Did Shero Offer Geno to the Kings?

But as the draft has gotten closer, the talks sprouted back up. The most popular link on the internet today is [ Puck Daddy's ] story on a potential Malkin trade to the Los Angeles Kings.

'Malkin to the Kings' strikes again with Tavares bit
Lighthouse Hockey —
... , you can imagine it's a whole lot more disingenuous than that. Either Malkin to the Kings is laying a veiled accusation that Tavares is lying when he publicly refuted the months-old allegations of Lindrosairres Disease, or Malkin to the Kings is not doing his homework, or he's just recycling rumors like any random hack.
