A well-known agent working with NHL players assessed the situation for on condition of anonymity. Evgenia Malkina in “Pittsburgh” .
– I saw the version that Malkin could go to Washington in Ovechkin. After all, Niklas Backstrom broke down for a long time. But as far as I know, the Swedish centre-forward definitely plans to continue his career and he will return next season. So in the Capitals you can’t squeeze it under the cap either.
I don’t know who is going to give him the money. And who will take it for four years? My prediction is that even if Malkin enters the market, he will stay in Pittsburgh,” the agent said.
On July 13, the Russian hockey player will enter the free agent market.
Malkin was selected by Pittsburgh in the 2004 NHL Draft with the second overall pick. The striker has been defending the colors of the team since 2006, in the regular season he played a total of 981 games and scored 1146 (444 + 702) points.
As a member of the Penguins, Malkin became a three-time Stanley Cup winner (2009, 2016, 2017).
