Speculation: What does Malkin get for an AAV on his next contract

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

He should get a small cut and Letang will get a small raise

Geno is worth every penny healthy, but has only been able to consistently play 60+ games the last half decade

Matching AAV and term, something like 3 x 8M-8.5M to take them through the end of the Crosby deal

They won’t/shouldn’t lowball either player

This I could definitely see.

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

His AAV will be on par with Ovi's

 

[glenbuis]

think they should be cashing in that chip for whatever they can get for him . imagine in 4 years time paying him 9 million . that'll be a bitter pill to swallow . find a team willing to overpay for him and do a mini rebuild

 

[TS Quint]

1 year $9m if Malkin wants to be nice about it.

 

[txpd]

8 - 10 mil probably.

Probably something like that and with term.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Cumulative value of the contract will be around $35-40M. (Edit: listing a range).

 

[3074326]

3-4 years x $6,000,000 if he wants more, he can go elsewhere.

Why are you acting like you speak for Penguins fans? You can go elsewhere.

Your take sucks, too.

 

[reino]

With his injury history I'm hoping 3x7.5

 

[Foppberg]

3-4 x 9M

Well he is right. Anything more than 6.5 is overpaid and only for nostalgic reasons .

 

[Jerkbait]

Malkin should be super motivated that’s for sure

Yeah he's gonna tear it up once he returns from injury and out the pens on his back and else them to a conference final

 

[GuerinUp]

i would guess his AAV depends on what team he ends up on...

 

[danyhabsfan]

And if I were Malkin, I'd tell you to take that haircut and shove it up your ass.

 

[Mick Jagr]

More than he's worth, unfortunately. Even though he has been overpaid for a couple years now

 

[QJL]

He's going to be looking at Ovie contract for a comparable.

The Ovie contract is an abomination. As implied by the owner, there's more focus on the goal record than winning cups.

Penguins would be stupid to follow the same path.

3 years x 6 mil seems right.

 

[PAZ]

$6 mil is an insult to Malkin, he could easily get 8-10 mil on a 2-3 yr contract in the open market.

 

[Shark Finn]

$9.5M per year

 

[Durden Tyler]

I would not be surprise if he take a 7.1m contract for like 3 year, but not dissapoint if under 8.5m, over that with his injury history it's way too risky for the pens. If he want another shot at a cup the Pens will need free agent help so the extra money take out that option.

 

[66-30-33]

Either 7.1 or 8.7 on a 3 year deal. Letang probably takes 8M on a 3 year deal and all 3 retire together.

 

[Mr Positive]

After Ovechkin got paid, I'd imagine Malkin would too, or else a deal would have been hashed out by now

 

[KrisLetAngry]

7.1 x 3 years.

This is what I hope for. Goes for his number and gives us a discount.

Letang on the other side may be asking for a bit more and I think he gets it.

read the other day an article in french saying Letang wanted to finish his career with the pens so don't think he will try to squeeze as much money as he can. So might not take a pay cut but should not break the bank either. With his style of play we may see a solid drop off in his game in the near futur as he won't be able to recover his mistake as easily.

 

[CaptainBenn]

Lmao a player like danault signs for 5.5 and some people here think malkin is only worth 6?? hello??

 

[Eggtimer]

Whatever it is ,I can see it being an overpay compared to his production moving forward. Yes he is a sure bet HOF player and was one of the most skilled and talented players in the league will result in him asking for 8 mil + . He was worth that before and more but not moving forward. Injuries and decline in play will not deserve 8 mil + .
I’m not saying it will be a huge overpay , just not really worth the $$ he will get based somewhat off his past performance and namesake and not his current production and worth .

 

[Jerkbait]

$6 mil is an insult to Malkin, he could easily get 8-10 mil on a 2-3 yr contract in the open market.

Then that's probably the best place to go .
