Breaking: Blockbuster trade rumors involving Evgeni Malkin from multiple sources!
Keystone Press.

Fresh of winning a Stanley Cup there are major rumors involving Pittsburgh Penguins superstar forward Evgeni Malkin.

Perhaps the craziest part of these rumors is the rumored destination that is the common thread among all of them, none other than the Chicago Blackhawks, Now obviously when you consider Chicago's cap space situation as well as the kind of player being dealt here, there will be a great deal of skepticism surrounding these rumors, and rightfully so, but they are coming from so many different sources that it seems unlikely that there isn't at least a grain of truth to them.

According to Newsday's Steve Zipay the Blackhawks are "seriously kicking tires on Evgeni Malkin" a rumor that has since been echoed by the Chicago Chronicle and one that was also reported earlier today by Michael Grosso although he added that both the Canadiens and Predators were also in the mix here.

Even withrumors of Boston potentially trading away a first rounder today, and four big trades yesterday this one is still a shocker.

Update: Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune has confirmed he heard this rumor as early as last week, but also added that Chris Hine, also of the Chicago Tribune, and shot it down. Sounds like he is no longer certain.
