Incredible season.
The market is definitely going to play in his favor because this is not a deep free agents class.
If someone is going to overpay for him, I don't think it'll be the Penguins.
Somebody probably will be, I don't know if dumb enough is the right word, but greedy enough.
Looking 30-goal scorer, we need that to give five years and overpay.
Well, he still has one more year left on his contract, right?
Does he?
I thought he was at the end.
According to Puckpedia, he still has one more year left on his contract.
What would you do with Chinnikov?
They should keep him.
Yeah, you're kind of talking in absolutes when it comes to Malkin.
I don't think it's a guarantee he comes back.
Well, he said he wants to come back, and he would like to do it for more than one year.
A lot of it is up to Kyle Dubas, and if Dubas wants to bring him back, and Dubas has been very nonchalant.
So then why doesn't Dubas just say...
You know, we're very interested in bringing Malkin back and we're going to have those conversations.
He, to me, has just been kind of vanilla about the whole situation.
Does the way that Dubas has discussed it and spoken about it relay any similarities to you that Charrington did with McCutcheon?
Hold on.
