Athletistic/Hockey. KHL Vice President Valery Kamensky commented on the situation with Evgeni Malkin’s contract.

For the moment, the striker is negotiating with the “Pittsburgh” to extend the agreement, but the parties cannot agree. On July 1, Malkin’s contract expires.

“We will be happy to see Malkin in the KHL. You have to take into account the desire of the player himself. I think a hockey player like Malkin can be useful to any team. He had a brilliant career, he’s a great player. Negotiations are just business. Any club in the NHL and KHL will want him to sign, they’ll find a team,” Kamensky said.
