Double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Fetisov said the assailant “Pittsburgh” Yevgeny Malkin do not return to Russia.
The 35-year-old Russian is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 13.
– Why would Malkin return to Russia? He still has the potential of a player, and I can say that in the NHL, such players are worth their weight in gold. Malkin is a veteran who can bridge and complete the missing link. Zhenya is one of the best players in modern hockey. I think the NHL system itself is all about signing young players, and signing veterans will help the team win the Stanley Cup. I think there will be a promising team to achieve this goal for Zhenya, “Championship” quotes Fetisov.
Malkin was selected by Pittsburgh in the 2004 NHL Draft with the second overall pick. The striker has been defending the team’s colors since 2006, in the regular season he played a total of 981 games and scored 1146 points (444 + 702).
As a member of the Penguins, Malkin became a three-time Stanley Cup winner (2009, 2016, 2017).
