Crosby is not the reason he had a good year, that is ridiculous, if that was the case why is he having another remarkable year this year? Malkin is just a great playmaker, one of the best, as is Crosby, but I'd still say that Malkin is better even if it is harder to say after Crosby had that hell of a half season last year.
which could be as soon as next year. the fact he has a possibility of retiring and you could also get a shit load for him should make it at least an option for the Pens.

Lol, he isn't retiring and he isn't going anywhere.
if he gets injured again, which is very likely, then he'll be done or will be completely stupid and decide to stay even if it is destroyig his health. I thought the same thing about Manning in the beginning of the season man, but sometimes you gotta let go.
Where did I say Crosby was the sole reason the Pens won the cup?? I said if he wasn't on that team, they don't win, and that's true.
Think about it. The Pens had Crosby-Malkin as their top 2 centers, centering the 1A/1B line respectively. They faced the Red Wings. Lidstrom, Zetterberg, and Datsyuk were assigned to be on Crosby every time he stepped onto the ice. Like his shadow.
When you have 3 of the best defensive players in the league on your back for 60 minutes, 7 games, you are going to be rendered ineffective no matter how good you are.
It is because of this why Malkin flourished because the attention was always on Crosby.
This video is from 08, but it's a pretty good representation of what Sid had to deal with on a shift to shift basis.
That was a completely different situation in a whole different era. Edmonton traded Gretzky because of financial issues.
I'm just saying, if the best player in the world can be traded more than once, anyone can really. For whatever circumstances. Other guys can be mentioned as well (Shaq).
