But sometimes you can't tell if he's being serious or he's saying something jokingly or tongue-in-cheek.

So I would assume sometime in the near future that Malkin and the Penguins are going to sit down and they're going to say, okay, how does everybody feel here?

Where does everybody stand?

You know, someone pointed out to me, he started the season as a center and he finished the season as a winger.

You know, how does he feel about that?

Does he see himself as a center?

Does he see himself as a winger?

Does one disagree with the other?

You know, how does everybody feel about that?

That's one thing.

Contract.

I can't imagine it's going to be too much of a problem, but his AAV was 6.1.

Do the Penguins want him to take less?

He just had a great year, numbers-wise.

He was a point-of-game player.

He had 61 points in 59 games and 3-6 in the playoffs.

You know, does he look at that and say, I don't know, this is just me talking.

I deserve a raise.

Or do the Penguins say, even though they've got a ton of cap room, there's a certain level we want to keep it at.

I can't imagine the organization would be too crazy about turn.
