Confirmed with Link: Malkin re-signs to a 4 year, $6.1 million AAV deal (Eklund called it, start singing his praises)

[Turin]

so many of you, SO many of you need to go f***ing touch grass, and on the way, seek therapy.

So Trochek tomorrow baby

 

[IcedCapp]

I won't apologize for being on pins and needles about a franchise legend walking away with 12 hours to go.

he was never walking away. kept saying just be patient. kept saying just wait. he was never leaving

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Finally the nay sayers can be quiet and upset.

 

[Vega]

Meh

 

[IcedCapp]

So Trochek tomorrow baby

they legit have to move salary now though

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Someone check on @ronduguayshair

 

[dogthateats]

[Hire Sather]

Can go 10% over the cap during the offseason, right?

 

[IcedCapp]

Someone check on @ronduguayshair and @reino

So announcing signings near midnight is in now?

 

[ColePens]

The argument of does the core have 1 more cup in them is for a different day.

87, 71 and 58 retire as Penguins. From a fan of the game, I am very proud of this moment. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[FlyingPenguin]

Absolutely fantastic news.

I mean, it was too close for comfort for me. That's a very affordable AAV and an extra year tacked on, still have some room to do some damage if they trade a D.

 

[Andy99]

It’s all because of that Instagram message I sent him!!

 

[BobCole]

I honestly DGAF how the rest of this era goes. These guys have delivered us 3 Cups and they'll all retire as Penguins. They're already the longest tenured teammates in NHL history, and we get them for a little longer. I'm happy.

 

[Ryder71]

What have I been saying for the last 10 days?

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

who would have thought hed sign for the deal from yesterday? now he gets the deal plus all the bad press from the last 24 hours. seems pretty stupid.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Dude come on. I deserve some love on that. I'll be honest.. i started to doubt myself, but the story was written.

@Zirakzigil - you owe me $5.

Yeah, Yohe kept pimping that narrative.

Either Geno walks and Sid tried everything. Hextall is the villain.

Or... Geno stays and Sid is the hero.
