Tangent, but...do you think the Pens realize Malkin is their most important asset?

If I run the team, my organization chart looks like this...

1. Malkin
2. Fleury
3. Crosby (Letang was close)
4. Letang
5. Neal
6. Staal

I know Sid makes them a lot of money, but...on the ice...the priority has to be Geno.
