club defender NHL “Tampa Bay Lightning” Mikhail Sergachev believes that the Russian striker Yevgeny Malkin – Legend “Pittsburgh” he deserved a new contract.
Malkin agreed to a new four-year contract with the Penguins this week. The total amount of the agreement was $24.4 million.
– I am very happy for Evgeny. I think that he Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux – these are three legends, three whales on which the entire franchise of Pittsburgh rests. I can only be happy for Yevgeny, he wanted to stay and stayed. I hope he will be healthy and get the contract back, maybe he will sign another one,” Sergachev told a Zoom press conference.
Additionally, the Tampa defenseman said many NHL players were upset with league management’s decision not to make it to the Beijing Olympics.
– At that time, no one suspected that this could be the first and last chance to go to the Olympics. Of course, I was upset that we weren’t going. I think everyone in the league was upset, not just the Russians. It’s a fly in the ointment in such a good season where the league was able to win a lot, 24-year-old Sergachev added.
