Malkin will not sign with Pittsburgh. Gino will hit the free agent market tomorrow
The hockey player and the club have not come to an agreement. Malkin himself wants to end up in Pittsburgh, as he himself has always said. But it all comes down to salary.
Penguins management is planning a rebuild, and for that, they need to unload the payroll. They are concerned about Malkin's age and frequent injuries. So they are not willing to offer Gino much money.
Last time there was talk of $12 million over two years, but Malkin didn't agree. Most insiders agree on one thing - the Russian will soon be on the free agent market.
There is no progress in negotiations. Can you imagine Zhenya at another NHL club?
