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

[Ryder71]

Hilarious...........all of the experts and I called this 2 days ago.


Can't wait to hear how the team is better with all of these signings..............never get one response.

Exactly, all anyone had to do is be patient and instead people started bridge jumping. They all should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Too busy trying to dump Westbrick.

Not a great reminder as we celebrate Geno, but true!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

That damned Sidney Crosby, always meddling in front office and coaching decisions. Always up to no good.

I'm just happy the over-dramatized, shitty soap opera is over.

Also:

Maybe we can stop posting Rossi and Yohe shit because they're always wrong, and have compiled a mountain of evidence saying neither has a clue what the f*** they're talking about?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Thought he was testing free agency?

Well, RIP all the pointless Trocheck discussions.

Glad to have the big Ruski back. Top 6 comin together nicely.
Now dump Zucker and grab Marchment.

@Andy99 Sorry dude. You now must watch next season and toil with the rest of us!

 

[Lustaf]

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

Thank you by the way for keeping a level head and saying all along that what you heard is this will get done, even if it goes to the wire.

 

[ColePens]

yes, but not without a lot of help. Still so much re-tooling to be done, but I honestly have no problem with 3 of the 4 contracts (I would still prefer to find a Rust replacement)

Yep agree. And i'm sure by December a lot of people who were about to go after Hex for NOT signing Geno are going to be claiming how bad Hex is for signing these guys.

Honestly I think the majority of us are on the same page. Great cool Penguins moment and i'll gladly by a ticket and watch those guys til their final day.

 

[Pens x]

Did someone slip Sleepy some of @Pens x 's meth?

Thank god.

Now get rid of Pettersson and Zucker.

The team is better with all these signings, its the best top 6 we've had in a while and its potentially not over

Now to work on the bottom 6

 

[Trade]

SOOOO stoked about this news.

Have a feeling Geno has one of his strongest seasons in a while next year.

 

[Jacob]

So basically Letang, Malkin, Rust & Rakell are all coming back at a combined lower cap hit than they had last season? Just doing the math in my head.

 

[Pancakes]

leave it to the Pittsburgh media to turn Geno signing his lifetime contract into a story about Sid.

Sid absolutely played a huge role here, but tonight (and tomorrow) should be about celebrating Geno

This might be one of those stories where Sid genuinely does deserve a lot of credit though.

If he brought Geno back to the table that's huge. I'm so relieved this saga of Pens hockey is going to end the right way instead of Mario/Jagr part two. Even if we don't win another cup or playoff series, that carries value to me.

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I guess it's safe to get a Malkin jersey now

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Sid made it very clear to Ron

 

[IcedCapp]

Thank you by the way for keep a level head and saying all along that what you heard is this will get done, even if it goes to the wire.

my opinion of Geno would have truly soured if he left, simply because, to me, it would have meant he / his camp did a LOT of lying over the last couple of weeks, and I simply didn't believe that to be the case. He can get emotional in the moment, but in the end, his camp made it clear he wanted to stay. Once Hextall moved to 4 years, it made no sense to me why this would deteriorate.

 

[Pancakes]

So basically Letang, Malkin, Rust & Rakell are all coming back at a combined lower cap hit than they had last season.

I think Rakell is more expensive but otherwise yes.

 

[dogthateats]

 

[ChaosAgent]

life ain't fair

 

[Ryder71]

If you watch the nightly Sports call tonight, which I'm sure a lot of you did oh, they were basically giving up themselves. Leave it to the local media to lead in the hysterics. They all ought to be ashamed of themselves. Journalist's my ass!

 

[Andy99]

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Gaudreau -Malkin-Rakell

Is the best top six we've had in years. I just hope it can stay healthy.

FIFY

 

[Coastal Kev]

Oh I agree...........lot's of bookmarks these past few days

I'm obviously a huge Sid fan, and I want to read the story in a month, but for tonight, I think they should just make it about Geno. Sid's legacy will survive a month wait

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I get it for you guys but didn't understand Rangers fans wanting him

It's the same for both teams, if the contract was around the same.
The question is how much do you think he has left, if you're signing him until the summer he turns 40.

 

[ViD]

Damn, any franchise would want to have a leader like Sid
