According to the source, the club offered Malkin a two-year, $6 million per season deal.
It is reported that the main issues for the hockey player are not so much the salary as the proposed length of the deal. Presumably, the Russian insists on a four-year contract.
Note that if the parties do not resolve all issues by July 13, then Malkin will enter the free agent market.
Previously, the Penguins were able to negotiate a new contract with 35-year-old defenseman Chris Letang, signing a six-year contract.
