The Pittsburgh Penguins are expected to meet with Evgeni Malkin to discuss a contract extension before the NHL season resumes next Wednesday, as reported by David Pagnotta. While negotiations between GM Kyle Dubas and Malkin’s agent had not yet occurred, both sides aim to set the groundwork for an agreement. Despite the team’s playoff struggles, Malkin, now over a point-per-game this season, is likely willing to accept a pay cut from his current $6.1 million salary for a one-year extension. This move could pave the way for a fitting conclusion to the careers of Malkin and Sidney Crosby.
