I wouldn't be shocked if Geno plays one more year after his current contract.
I expect it actually, if he feels good after the next season, I think they'll bring him back at half his current cap hit for 1yr.

Personally, I'd be thrilled to see him come back for 1 more year to retire with Sid, I don't know, everything about that would be special, we never got to see Mario & Jagr retire together or any legends retire like that, to see it for the Penguins might be the literal bright spot we have left to look forward to.

I don't know, if he was going to do it, I think he would have done it already when the team was jerking him around about signing and before they got sanctioned to hell.
See a lot of blokes think Geno would go to the KHL instead of play 1 more year after his current contract is up. I think if he's feeling good, he'll take a lot less to just stay and retire together, because Geno, while not absurdly superstitious like Sid, is very sentimental and I think for him the idea of "us two, retire together" is something he probably is thinking about.

Also given Nikita's age, I wonder if Geno just stays in Florida where he summers a lot, to give his kid a good shot at some good hockey programs because he's a pretty good little player himself. I think that's where I feel Geno will split his time like he already does, maybe if he goes back to play, sure whatever, but given the current situation, I think he might just call it a career and spend time being a Dad to a budding little Geno - Of whom we need to have the best developmental path possible to save us from the dark years of Sullivan Year 20.

Yeah, I don't write off the possibility of Geno going back to the Old Country in some weird scheme like Jágr is doing at Kladno. I just don't think he'll go to Russia after this contract is up unless he's like absolutely cooked at the NHL level or there's some insane dumb beef with the front office.

Geno's little one is a natural, I remember this clip of Letang's kid and Geno's kid playing around and Nikita looks like a shrunken down Geno.


It's what makes me curious about if Geno wants to leave and put his little one in a program back in Russia like what he grew up in or he wants to give his little one a shot at the US programs.
