Malkin to play wing?
Diomedes brought this up in a fanpost, but here's a link to Rossi's article that suggests Malkin may make a move to the wing this season.

Malkin told Bylsma he would love to play on a line with Staal, with whom he played four years ago when they were rookies — even if Staal was the center.
I’m sure Staal has no complaints with that request

I thought this was already pretty obvious…Shero has been talking about the possibility of this for at least a month.
Anyway, I think it’s pretty much a necessity right now; even after the signings of Asham and Comrie. I just hope we don’t go into the playoffs like that.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
I realize I’m a minority in this regard, but I don’t think it’s such a given that we should go Staal at 3C automatically upon hitting the playoffs. Against some teams it’ll be a definite advantage, but against others I fully believe stacking two lines would be better. I can only imagine what might have happened against Montreal, if we’d had an effective second line.

exactly.
the “Staal to 3C when the playoffs start” is just people not letting go.
i love what the Pens are doing this year —>> “accountability” is the coachspeak
translation: we are going to shake things up. NO F POSITIONS are a given (except Crosby at 1C). that includes Malkin, Staal, and everyone else.
i think they regret bringing back the ’09 Cup team en toto and w/o significant competition
Accountability
It’s about time, too.
Agreed, the only F posiiton a lock is Mr Crosby

the "Staal to 3C when the playoffs start" is just people not letting go.
I’m not going to go into this with you again, but don’t expect Malkin and Staal to be together when the playoffs start.
The depth at center is something that the organization bases it’s team on.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
i love how you know this
when the players don’t know it
the coaches don’t know it
and Shero doesn’t know it
of course, if it works well in the regular season
as Staal and Malkin, significantly, hope that it does
i’m sure they will change it up for the playoffs
after repeating the mantra “depth at center is something that the organization bases it’s team on”
I’m not going to go into this with you again, but don’t expect Malkin and Staal to be together when the playoffs start.
This is my opinion; I don’t know it.
The depth at center is something that the organization bases it’s team on.
That’s a fact. It’s been said before.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
I respect your opinion on the depth at center being the backbone of the team, and what appears to be your view that “depth” at center can only mean having 87-71-11 playing the middle.
I’m not disputing that, however, keep in mind that things do change. What worked before does not always continue to work. Other teams see what you are doing. They adapt. The good teams will come out and try to make you do something outside your comfort zone.
If Malkin-Staal becomes the immovable object and unstoppable force line as we hope they will, and the Pens discover that they have some other options for creating an effective 3rd line, I don’t know that we’d go back to the old lines come playoff time just for the sake of doing it. Bylsma would have to see something in the team or in the team we are facing that would dictate that change.

We can all argue
Or disagree or whatever……….but, we do not know what is best for the team.
I am hoping that RS and HCDB, do, and will change and adapt.
Yes, when we change things up, other teams adapt and change up as well—that’s why we lost to the Habs: they changed up better then we did.
We, the Pens, have to be the ones that change, any way they see fit, regardless of what us fans think or who we want to see matched up with, etc.
I don’t care who or where Malkin or Staal play…as long as it works and works well.

True, but unless it Malkin/Staal work amazingly, I think the organization would prefer the 3C.
That’s my opinion and I don’t think I should be attacked for it or for apparently “not being able to accept it.”
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
I think in the ideal world the Shero would love to keep his 3C model. The problem hasnt been 87 71 or 11, its having enough depth to give them all effective linemates. Its about getting maximum production out of Staal and Malkin.
They seem like they are going to explore the option of playing those two together, which worked for them before the 3C did. I dont think you can say for sure that when playoffs start, they will switch all their lines around to get back to the 3C. It depends on a lot of things, match ups, how well 71 and 11 worked during the season… i couldnt tell you what the lines are going to be for game 1of the reg season let alone the first playoff game.
by genomachine-O on Sep 10, 2010 7:27 AM EDT up reply actions
That’s just the point – I didn’t say they should switch all their lines around just for the playoffs.
First of all, I said that I agree with moving Staal and Geno together because it’s almost a necessity. Second of all, Staal and Geno will be separated if and only if Shero goes out and gets Malkin a winger at the trade deadline. The reason I sound so sure about that is because Shero always goes shopping; is always looking to make the team better. Right now, I can’t think of anything that’s higher on his list to-do right now than “winger depth.”
So, the only thing I was “sure” about was the pride the organization takes in the 3C. I based all of my opinions around that.
Somehow, Diomedes took that as me “not being able to accept it.”
Go back and look at the previous fanshot a few months ago – I explained the exact same thing loud and clear, yet he seems to want to put his own spin on it.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
i’m sure they will change it up for the playoffs
Do you agree with my opinion or do you know this? I mean, seriously, wow. You should read what you’re writing.
You’re attacking me for my opinion, then you state “I’m sure that they’ll change it up for the playoffs.”

Rossi = Eklund
I am all for Malkin moving to wing, but from Rossi? Come on now. That’s the same guy who said the Pens should (or could) trade Malkin. Oye I don’t like this dude.
Even though I stil don’t like Rossi and think the blogs on here are 500x better from fans, I still like the move of Malkin to wing. One question…why not? Let’s do this!
by Wags24 on Sep 6, 2010 2:17 PM EDT reply actions
Don’t take it from Rossi. This is basically old news. RS has been talking about Malkin moving to wing for about a month now.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
Nobody llikes Rossi, thats a given. The Pens depth is at the center position and no not just 87, 71, and 11. I’m in full flight for Malkin playing the wing. I don’t know about Cooke moving up though. It could work it adds forechecking and grit and 30+ points so why not.
by Geno McFleury on Sep 6, 2010 6:09 PM EDT up reply actions
What about Dupuis?
I agree with most of the article but I think Dupuis might have a better chance to play on line 2 than cooke. He has shown capability on the top 2 lines, and we need some good grinders (ie. Cooke!) to round out line 3.

They talked about Geno moving to wing long before that.
If that had been the first time they had asked him about it, I think that would worry me. MY impression is that they talked to him about it months ago.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
37
Staal breaks the 30 goal plateau for the first time in his career. He’ll end up with around 34 to 38, mark it down.
So it’ shall be written.
So I shall be done.
That's what I said
this is old news.
Let me find that link I posted a few months ago…
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
hey 8725, its old news, but you STILL can’t fully accept it
i thought this was also interesting for the “Malkin won’t like it” crowd — like genomachino — who think they know his mind, better than the Malkin himself.
What are you talking about? And why are you being so hostile? I’ve accepted it, I just don’t think we’ll go into the playoffs with it like that.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
i have a wide range of acceptance with regard to fan talk
it is, after all, just that — talk
i draw the line, however, at statements that have zero basis in fact
like that Staal at 3C for the playoffs is a foregone conclusion b/c “depth at center is something that the organization bases it’s team on.”
Dude, that’s something they’ve said before. You need to calm down, seriously.
It’s a fact that the organization takes pride in the the depth at center, but it’s my opinion that we won’t start the playoffs with Staal and Malkin together.
We’re all entitled to our opinions here, but for some reason, you can’t seem to accept mine when a lot of other fans have the same opinion as I. Take my opinions with a grain of salt (hell, that’s all all of our opinions here are worth) but don’t attack me for them.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
Why take 2 steps back?
If teams have adapted to the big 3C and putting Staal up to 2nd line C with Malkin works then whyyyy in the world would they go back to what teams have adapted to? lol That makes absolutely zero sense! They are trying to win playoff games and not just regular season games like Washington and San Jose do! Montreal actually did Pitts a big avour this past season in pointing out what wont work as effectively anymore.
i think it’s a bit premature to decide who starts where in the post season… If anything, this regular season may be the way to puut Staalkin to the acid test to see if it stands up another cup round…
Is it October yet?
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
The three center model won’t work effective against the trap when you have wingers who aren’t performing. That’s what Montreal taught us.

Lol yeah it does. Have you ever heard of defensive matchups? Like Alighieri said it’s a little early to be talking about this, but with Staal manning the 3rd line, the matchups would largely be in our favor.
They are trying to win playoff games and not just regular season games like Washington and San Jose do!
That’s exactly the point.
Montreal actually did Pitts a big avour this past season in pointing out what wont work as effectively anymore.
Montreal isn’t exactly a good example because they were such a special situation. A hot goalie and a D on fire; they eventually burned out.
Against the trap, however, is where the 3C does get complicated. But, as I’ve said before, I don’t think we’ll go back to the 3C in the playoffs without Shero making a move at the deadline for a winger.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
And would I have posted that link on this fanshot if I hadn’t accepted it?
And why are you talking about conversations that happened about 2-3 months ago?

Yeah, and then it all depends on how the Pen’s season goes. We could become freed animals (with a good season) or it could get even worse and become abused and caged animals. {I’m not even going to write it}.

I disagree. I think it’s an improvement year where the Leafs finish just outside of a playoff spot. But, the season after next maybe…
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
I don’t know. On paper the Leafs have one of the best defenses in the East and they won’t only have Kessel to rely on in the goals department. Plus, the Monster has already experienced his first year in the NHL and with Giguere and not Toskala to carry them in net, I think the Leafs may very well make the 8th spot. I must add the caveat that last season I expected the Leafs to just make the playoffs and the Habs to challenge for a lottery pick. I think we all know how that turned out :(
Hehe yeah, I remember.
All too vividly.
But..still, you predict them to have the #8 seed and I predict them to be just outside a playoff spot. Usually, that’s just a few wins. Or even a few points.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.

I think they sneak in too. Mind you, they may be bounced in 4 games. I tried explaining this to my Leafs’ fanatic friend at work but he’s given up and won’t listen to me. He’s told me to wake him up in April.
I’ve had my hopes raised and dashed so many times when it comes to the Leafs that I’m afraid I’m a lot like your friend: I’ll take it if they give it to us, but I’m not about to sign up for the roller coaster ride of hope and disappointment yet again. I will be very happy if they make the playoffs, but I’m not going to expect it!

Clearly I am a new Torontonian, as I am actually very optimistic. Believe me, I think, all joking aside, that Burke will very well turn the Leafs around. Of course it would be nice if Tyler Seguin was suiting up in the blue and white instead of the black and yellow/gold. Anyhoo, I look forward to some parade and in the near future…
Black and yellow.. black and gold is saved for only one team :)
Well I think there is reason for optimism this year, generally we tend to overturn reality in favour of what we want to see.
And ugh, Tyler Seguin. I will hate that guy for the rest of his life even though none of this is his fault
Sorry guys, half my comments end up being a thread about the Leafs …

Lol, poor Tyler. I will admit I was over the Taylor/Tyler/Tyler/Taylor hype by the time the draft rolled around. I remember my sister called me to say that Cam Fowler still hadn’t been picked and she was hoping he would fall to 20. And she told me Hall went first and I don’t think I even reacted.
My apologies too…
I knew it would be Taylor going #1, but I was surprised with Fowler. I like it when guys get picked by their home teams/childhood teams though

Hopefully the Leafs won’t have that horrible start that pretty much doomed them last season. I think Burke has made some interesting moves. I don’t know why he didn’t go for Patrick Sharp when he had the chance (on top of Kris Versteeg, but then I am greedy) but I think on paper, he’s certainly got the best team in the Northeast. Great defense, offense could be a little better but hey, it’s already improved over last year. So I am quietly optimistic.
It’s interesting how vastly opinions can differ. I’m by no means an expert on the Leafs, I pretty much only see them play when it’s against the Pens. I particularly struggle when trying to quantify their offense, because so many of the players are young and relatively untried. There’s no doubt the defense is excellent and the goaltending is solid, but you also need to score goals.
All that said, I’ll admit that after a cursory glance at the division, I actually had them pegged for last. I do, however, believe it’s a fairly close race between all 5 teams in the division, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Toronto higher up in the division standings.
Your offense scouting is pretty good. We’re hoping Kessel can bounce back after a shortened season and win the Richard (don’t worry, Sid still gets the Art Ross)
I do think we’ll be a lot better this year (more talent, chemistry, etc), realistically I think the playoffs are a long shot but still possible.
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
Yeah, there can be little doubt the Leafs are a better team this year. Most teams expected to be in the second half of the standings seem very close in strength, so with the improvements to the team, the regular season should remain interesting for Leafs fans until the end.
I really hope the best for you guys. I dearly would hate to see the Bruins get another top5 pick out of the Kessel move. But, even if everything falls apart, at least we know there’s little to no chance of the Bruins getting the top pick next year. With the Panthers going all in on trying to win the lottery, I mean…
We had our hopes on Sharp but realistically I don’t think the Hawks were going to give him up either

i don’t blame you for having hopes about sharp. heck, i had hopes about sharp on the pens. (knew it wasn’t EVER gonna happen…but it was my pet pipe dream.)
we're not trading jordan staal.
;)
The Leafs have the best defenses on paper? Just because Toronto has more NHL ready D on their team then any other team doesnt mean they have the best Defence on paper…Most of their D are 5-7th Dmen on ANY other team…If their D was sooo rich as you say then Toskala wouldnt have been made to look like such a fool on soo many occasions…Toskala did just fine in net in San Jose when he ACTUALLY did have a good defense in front of him…Check the stats they do not lie!
Komisarek and Beauchemin are 5th to 7th on any other team? Really? And Phaneuf too? Sure Phaneuf has a lot of growing up to do but 5th to 7th defenseman? I don’t think so. And with their rocky start, they had no one scoring goals. Kessel was still recovering from surgery…and that’s it. Terrible goaltending from Toskala for sure, though he wasn’t entirely to blame, and if Komisarek wasn’t injured, he was in the penalty box. The whole team wasn’t performing either but they manage to temporarily turn things around when Kessel made his debut in November. I figured there may be a coaching change but the USA’s performance at the Olympics I think saved Wilson’s job in Toronto.
I know that Chicago didn’t want to give up Sharp but at that time they didn’t have Turco in net either (i.e. Niemi hadn’t gone to arbitration yet) and I am trying to remember if the offer sheet had come from San Jose for Hjalmarsson. I don’t think Chicago can hold on to Sharp when his contract is up and I think Burkie might make an offer to him then, seeing as how a lot of contracts will come off the books for Toronto (namely Giguere’s salary for one), but I actually thought for 5 seconds that the Leafs might take him in Chicago’s salary dump. At least they got Versteeg :)
Toskala’s faults were his own.
Nuff said
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
Yes, there were some nights he was just unwatchable. And then he had that one excellent game against the Caps. But generally, he was pretty awful.
It seemed to me that whenever the Pens would play him, he would just let in the shittiest goals ever. Uber soft.
Which lead me to believe that that was a regular occurrence.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
Trust me, it didn’t only happen against the Pens. It was pretty bad all around, one game against the Caps notwithstanding. The team wasn’t playing well as a whole but they couldn’t even get clutch goaltending from him. Even the Habs lost by some of slimmest margins (and conversely won by said margins) because they got clutch goaltending from Price and Halak at various points throughout the season.
Seriously! It’s the offseason and there’s very little news… no harm in talking about this some more as we approach camp. And seeing a story about something you’ve heard before really does not call for being rude to our bloggers.
On the subject of the article — I think that some people perceive Malkin as oversensitive, childish, and pouty, and it’s really not fair to him. He has preferences, and sometimes coaches ask him to do things that aren’t his favorite — they move him on the powerplay, they put him on wing… but he’ll work with it and do his best to score.
I think one of the reasons he seems more positive about playing wing than he did last year is that he just wants to be on a line with someone who is good. His production suffered last year, and it was partly because of his wingers. Staal may be a center, forcing Malkin to wing, but Staal is a talented center and that could put Malkin in a much better position to shine.
In my opinion, Malkin has problems with his game mentally. Or at least he has had them. The guy just gets down on himself so easily. Not that he’s fragile, childish, and pouty.
Malkin knows, like all players, that you do what the coaches ask of you. You think Crosby prefers being down low on the PP? He’s said before that he thinks he’s better on the half-wall. But when DB came in 2009 and put him down low, it worked. It’s not just Malkin who gets pushed out of his comfort zone; that’s something that happens to every player superstar or not.
My point is that if the coaches want Malkin to move to wing, he’s going to get moved whether he likes it or not. And Malkin knows that…like he said here.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
It’s been said before but maybe this isn’t really a cut & dried movement of Geno to the wing. The drop off for Geno is his FO percentages & his defense. Both of which can be covered by Staalsy. It could end up being some sort of hybrid system where Geno loosely takes up the Center spot in offense & Staalsy covers the D going back the other way…
Is it October yet?
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
That system that you’re talking about is basically what happened with Geno and Max in the 09 Cup Final.
So when's October you ask? Well, here's your answer.
now imagine Staalsy in place of Max…

Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
The ability to roll 3 deep down the middle while changing strategy on the fly to a top flight 2 way center with a super-star winger makes the Pens much more dangerous come playoff time.
i.e. – this is not a permanent thing. Moving Geno to wing will probably be an on-again, off-again situation until we reach the day when GMRS picks between Sid, Geno and Staal.
also, Rob Rossi is not a good writer.
