Heard that Malkin and Letang got "lowballed" on offers from Pitt management. 3 year deals at 5m AAV. Obviously looking for the 3 years 7M AAV that Pavelski got.

He will likely get that but any GM giving that is an idiot. He can’t stay healthy. Pavelski does. In three years when Malkin is almost 39 that will be an anchor contract.

It is a pretty low ball offer compared to Ovi, in his first year of a 5 year 9.5M AAV.

I wouldn't do it either. 1 year contracts in the 3's or 4's honestly past 35.

Again…Ovi stays fairy healthy and is still producing. Don’t think he’ll be worth it in his final years.

Thanks Carol! Good to hear management speak coherently

Again, I wouldn't do it but I'm not an NHL exec who has already given out the contract. Teams aren't exactly afraid to use LTIR.

It shows what a bunch of crayon eaters the last management group was.

Pretty sure Marwood is the Green one.

Thanks Carol, Good write-up,(as always) For some reason I feel there are adults running the show in the front office for a change and at the moment I trust their assessments. Hope I'm not proven wrong.

I imagine that Vegas will be all over this. Travis Green is going to need as many bullets as possible.

Thank you Carol

No, it's me going through withdrawal.

There's a lot of reason to doubt that based on the source of the rumor. The "journalist" who said it spreads stuff all the time that is never true.

Realistically, the rumor from a much more trusted media source is Malkin wants 3 years/$20M... so about $6.8M. To me, I'd make that deal 100/100 times.
