The Pittsburgh Penguins also tried to re-sign Malkin, who on Monday signaled his intent to see what other options he might have. The 36-year-old was a point-a-game player last season even after returning from knee surgery.Teams looking for a younger option in the middle have Kadri, who like Gaudreau had a career year and extended that production deep into the playoffs.
The best in that shallow pool is Klingberg, highly coveted as a right-shot defenseman who can run the power play. Think Hamilton money for the soon-to-be 30-year-old Swede, who put up 47 points last season. Whether it’s by trade or free agency, the Capitals now need two goalies and know the price considering the high demand and low supply.More goaltenders change teams on Day 2 of NHL draft
NHLFlames He’s leaving because you’ve been calling him John, Jim.
NHLFlames What ever yes he has the right but if he knew we could of traded his right and gotten something but no he didn’t say anything or the wrong thing and screwed this team!
NHLFlames Test the market? I thought he flat out told Treliving he wasn’t returning. “Test the Market” implies he might Re-sign.
NHLFlames Shocking!😂😂😂
Best news I’ve read all day. He had a great year but he’s to small to survive 4 playoff rounds. In fact he was invisible in round 2 this year. Good luvck wherever you land Johnny.
So disappointing. I just bought his jersey this year.
Everyone knew he was gone at the start of last year!! Sure Glad we got nothing for him!!
NHLFlames 😔😔😔
NHLFlames Don’t ever think someone is not replaceable
NHLFlames he can do as he chooses
