Once those players’ contracts were in place, the Penguins also extended a three-year extension with coach Mike Sullivan. Malkin, Crosby and Letang have been key players in three Stanley Cup-winning Penguins teams: 2009, 20. We couldn’t be more excited to see Malkin finish his career as a Penguin. We talked about it from the beginning and it was one of those deals that worked both ways. He helped us with the salary cap, which we needed to keep down. – I couldn’t have been more pleased than when we got ‘Geno’ (Malkin)’s signature on the contract, said Penguins general manager Ron Hextall. Malkin, who played in Pittsburgh his entire 16-year NHL career, even took a pay cut to stay with the club: from $9.5 million to $6.1 million. Here, in addition to the players mentioned above, there is also the star Sidney Crosb圓5, on a contract through 2025 and forward Bryan Rust, 30, on a deal through the 2027-28 season.

They show that on the club that won the Stanley Cup twice in a row in 2016-17, it’s the veterans that count. A couple of hefty contract extensions have characterized the summer of the Pittsburgh Penguins. ![]()
