Less likely, but the Kraken should listen to offers – Jaden Schwartz, Eeli Tolvanen, Jamie Oleksiak and Vince Dunn. Jacob Stoller: Have been hearing that the Kraken could make forward Jared McCann available. He’s got two years left at a $5 million cap hit. He can score, kills penalties, and can play wing and center.
The return of one of their lineup pillars will be great news in Pittsburgh. Malkin has continued to perform at a world-class level this year, with his 34 points in 47 games ranked fifth on the team in total scoring. In even better news, Malkin went on to emphasize to Rossi that he has no intentions of retiring this summer or playing anywhere else.
Crosby, signed through 2026-27, has repeatedly said he will play only for the Penguins. He and Malkin are the franchise leaders in games played and join Lemieux as the only players in franchise history to win the Hart and Conn Smythe trophies and multiple scoring titles.
The Edmonton Oilers may have an ideal trade partner sitting right in their division with the Seattle Kraken.
