Where do you see Malkin playing next year?
1. Penguins?
2. Random NHL Team?
3. Hometown KHL Team?

Bergeron will get and deserves a bigger contract than Malkin. From BahstonBergeron is saying he’s staying in Boston or retirement and yet Malkin gets these shitty threads, even though he’s said he wants to stay here…why can’t people take him at his word? Because he’s not Canadian?
With no respect to the Geno bashers, he's never come out and flat out said it's Pittsburgh or no where like Bergeron. All he's said is vague things like I'm not worried about money, I'm a rich guy. Don't get insulted if you get offered $5 mill per year when you publicly say you don't care about money.Bergeron is saying he’s staying in Boston or retirement and yet Malkin gets these shitty threads, even though he’s said he wants to stay here…why can’t people take him at his word?

Malkin has said many times he wants to stay here in Pittsburgh. As for your last sentence, that’s not how professional contract negotiations work. This is not high school.With no respect to the Geno bashers, he's never come out and flat out said it's Pittsburgh or no where like Bergeron.

He has before this season…this year however, he hasn’t spoken much because he was out with injury and then the Russian invasion…maybe I’m putting words in his mouth but I think would say that signing with the Pens is his first priority…obviously he can’t control if they don’t want him back, just like Bergeron cant eitherWith no respect to the Geno bashers, he's never come out and flat out said it's Pittsburgh or no where like Bergeron.

Every player who has even been on an expiring contract has said they want to stay in their current city.Malkin has said many times he wants to stay here in Pittsburgh. As for your last sentence, that’s not how professional contract negotiations work. This is not high school.
This isn’t some comedy skit where a guy says he isn’t thinking about money and the GM goes “ta da! Got you! You said you don’t care about money so here’s a shit sandwhich of a contract offer.” Like, come on.Every player who has even been on an expiring contract has said they want to stay in their current city.
That's exactly how professional contract negotiations work. Malkin tipped his hand by saying he is more concerned with his legacy here than the amount he is paid. It's not like he's in the prime of career when he was worth whatever dollar amount he asked for. Hextall's job is to put together the best team possible and getting Malkin for as cheap as he can plays a big role in that.
Keep going until you’re all the way out the doorNeutral fan passing by:
Its unlikely that he is going back home to play for his team (ofc they cant wait to have him back).
The thing is: I doubt he ever goes back home to live/work there.
5m is a rational price for a player so prone to injury and with less than stellar performance during this last season. In fact Id even say that his fair price is about 3m.

Last I checked nothing has come out that said Malkin was insulted….the only rumor that has come out said Sid wasn’t happy about it.With no respect to the Geno bashers, he's never come out and flat out said it's Pittsburgh or no where like Bergeron.

I don't believe any of it regardless. These guys have been through a few contract negotiations at this point. They know the routine.Last I checked nothing has come out that said Malkin was insulted….the only rumor that has come out said Sid wasn’t happy about it.
