Trouble brewing between Malkin and the Penguins
The belief amongst NHL agents is that it is "unlikely" that Evgeni Malkin will re-sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and sources within the Penguins organisation have reportedly expressed the same sentiment.
As per Josh Yohe of The Athletic:
''Numerous agents have told me that, after conversations they've had with Penguins general manager Ron Hextall, they believe it's unlikely that Evgeni Malkin is returning to Pittsburgh. Some people I've spoken with in the Penguins organization feel the same way.''
�'Unless Malkin is willing to take a lesser deal � he's confirmed he'll take a pay cut, but how much? � he may have played his final game with the Penguins. Hextall is very clearly preparing for the possibility.''

Is this the end of the Crosby and Malkin era in Pittsburgh or will the Penguins give it one last try before moving on?
