Athletistic/Hockey. Hockey agent Gennady Ushakov, representing the interests of Evgeni Malkin, answered questions about the future of the hockey player.

“Is Malkin entering the free agent market? Yes, from tomorrow Evgeny will become a free agent,” Ushakov said.

Malkin has been in talks with Pittsburgh since the end of last season, but the sides have not reached an agreement. Starting July 1, Malkin is a free agent, but until July 13, the Penguins could make a qualifying offer to the player.

Recall that Malkin has been playing for Pittsburgh since 2006. The Russian forward won the Stanley Cup three times.
