Penguins Contract Negotiations: Crosbys One-Year Deal vs. Malkins Two-Year Push The Penguins contract negotiations are heating up, with Sidney Crosby agreeing to a one-year deal and Evgeni Malkin reportedly seeking a two-year contract. GM Kyle Dubas is trying to keep Malkin, but the two-year deal isnt on the table. Crosbys willingness to take less money for the teams benefit contrasts with Malkins situation. Meanwhile, the Hoffmann Family of Companies ownership change and its potential impact on Dubass plans for the team are being discussed. The teams budget and decision to spend the salary cap increase on players rather than offloading contracts are also in the spotlight. On the prospect front, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goalie Murashov is making waves, but his NHL transition might be challenging. The team is considering bringing in a veteran third goalie, raising questions about keeping spots open for developing players on the main roster.
