Malkin open to a new NHL chapter if Penguins don’t re-sign him
Evgeni Malkin told reporters he’s prepared to play for another NHL team if Pittsburgh doesn’t re-sign him this summer, with July 1 marking his free-agent status. He stressed it’s a business decision and expressed a desire to play one more season in the NHL, ideally with Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang. Capitals have been floated as a potential destination due to his friendship with Alex Ovechkin, but nothing is decided. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has significant projected cap space but many players to re-sign and no goaltenders under contract. }
