Evgeni Malkin announces his intentions for his next contract
These days, there's a comeback in the Pittsburgh Penguins' entourage. This is the Russian striker Evgeni Malkin who, let us remember, underwent knee surgery on June 4. So he's been out of the game all this time.
Malkin was still on the ice today with his team for another full workout to get the Penguins back on track after the small forced break due to COVID-19 and the Omicron variant.
In meeting with the media after the training, there was some discussion about his contractual status. The 35-year-old Russian's contract expires at the end of the 2021-2022 season, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Now, Malkin has admitted that he wants to play another three or four years, which he will bring him very close to forty.
He does not seem to be too worried about his next contract. The main interested party responded to the media that he was very rich!
In short, let us hope that the wounds will not come to haunt him again since he has been very often injured in recent years. If he can remain healthy, he could still help a team aspiring to great honors.
