NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Montreal Canadiens
Pittsburgh Penguins and Evgeni Malkin Contract Talks Delayed
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin, a pending unrestricted free agent who will turn 40 in July, has clearly expressed his desire to continue playing next season in Pittsburgh and has no intentions of retiring. Following a recent meeting between his agent and General Manager Kyle Dubas, Malkin indicated that discussions regarding his contract status have been postponed until after the current NHL season concludes. He emphasized his commitment to focusing on his game and helping the team, especially with teammate Sidney Crosby sidelined by injury, rather than engaging in contract negotiations at this time.
Montreal Canadiens Seeking a Shutdown Defenseman
The Montreal Canadiens are reportedly looking to strengthen their lineup not only with a top-line forward but also by acquiring a depth defenseman capable of providing a reliable shutdown presence in crucial late-game situations. Such an addition could potentially impact the ice time of current defensemen like Arber Xhekaj or Jayden Struble, or even lead to one of them being included in a trade. The Canadiens reportedly inquired about Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, but the asking price, believed to be a first-round pick and a quality prospect (similar to the Brandon Carlo trade), was considered too high. Other potential candidates for a shutdown role include Zach Whitecloud of the Calgary Flames, who has two years remaining on his contract, Chicago Blackhawks' pending unrestricted free agent Connor Murphy, and Luke Schenn of the Winnipeg Jets, who might be acquired for a third-round pick or less.
