Evgeni Malkin is the real winner of the Phil Kessel trade

The biggest beneficiary of the Pittsburgh Penguins adding Phil Kessel might be Evgeni Malkin..Even if the two don't play together.

The Pittsburgh Penguins boosted their top-6 forwards by adding Phil Kessel in a trade for no roster players. The Toronto Maple Leafs are holding back $1.25 million per year for the next 7 years, to make matters even better for the Pens. This is a huge coup to get the 2nd highest scoring winger in the past 4 years (behind only some guy named Ovechkin).

Will Kessel play with Sidney Crosby of Evgeni Malkin?
