Kane for Malkin: Not happening. To me, Kane is a better fit in Chicago than Malkin and, more importantly, the Hawks don't have $2.4M to spare.
Check out the rumors of Malkin-for-Parise. That might have more life than Kane.

I just bench pressed 250. No big deal.

Tab,
I know you're a big Blackhawks guy so I thought you'd be a good person to let mull over this idea.
There has been an inexplicable amount of Malkin trade talks in the Pittsburgh media since their loss to Montreal. If the Pens actually plan on doing this, which I don't think they will, I don't want to trade quality for quantity--I want young quality in return.
For me, Patrick Kane fits the bill.
The Blackhawks would take about a $2.4 million salary hit, but could let Madden walk in the offseason to make up for it.
I think Malkin--if not already there--would rise to superstardom outside of Crosby's shadow and a Crosby-Kane first line would be downright frightening.
What are your thoughts?
