Athletistic/Hockey. Sports journalist Rob Rossi explained which criteria will be the main ones for Evgeni Malkin in choosing a new club.

“Malkin wants to go to a team that’s going to win the Stanley Cup. Money isn’t the biggest issue here. Malkin is a frontline forward who played in the shadow of Crosby. He’ll be happy to play in the same role, but wants to find a team that can relaunch himself. He is very motivated,” wrote Rossi.

Recall that previously, Malkin had decided to enter the free agent market after being unable to agree with Pittsburgh on a new contract.
