Penguins Update

Darren Dreger from TSN is reporting that Evgeni Malkin is ready to agree to a contract extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins that will be similar to Crosby's deal. The deal is reported to be a five year deal averaging $8.5 million. Defenseman Mark Eaton(two years, $2 million) and forward Pascal Dupuis(three years, $4.2 million) have also signed deals to remain with the team. I hope Orpik and Hossa can also come to terms soon as I think both men are important members of this roster and hopefully won't cost too much on the cap to help fill holes in free agency left by Roberts and Malone. Click below for the full story from them including even more information on the Malkin deal as well as more on Eaton and Dupuis.
