That is going to be one crazy duo if he gets to play with Crosby. They are prob the two hottest young players aside from Ovechkin. Nuts.

They are both centres, they won't play together.

But Malkin is more of the "natural centre", so if Crosby moves to the wing, maybe.

I doubt it.

Two different lines folks!

Except perhaps on the powerplay and when trailing late in games.

They will play together, who are you kidding...maybe not this year but they WILL play together...

YOu mean how forsberg and Sakic are both Cs but never played together...right..

EXACTLY. Great parallel.

Only late in games and occasionally on the powerplay, especially in the playoffs, and not even on the powerplay regularly, like Forsberg and Sakic RARELY played together on the same line.

Either way, if it was a common thing or not it doesnt matter. My point was that it can/ does happen, maybe i didnt give a great example, my knowledge of hockey is pretty limited to the last few years (luke not my co gm aaron)..but there are a very good hockey players that can play wing or C and have done so. Its not like Sidney hasnt played the Wing before..i can't imagine they split them up in the future.
