Russian Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin said that he wanted a salary of $ 8 million from the team management. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“Did you come out cheap with the new contract? Well, I sold it very cheaply – they didn’t give it anymore! Do you think I don’t want it or what? I asked for eight but they didn’t give me one. Maybe they thought I had too many injuries and wasn’t at the same level anymore. Of course, you always want a little more than they give. My managers fought until the end, I can easily say that. The contract is still in good standing. Let’s work!” Malkin said.
In the last season of the National Hockey League (NHL), Malkin played in 81 games for the Penguins, recording 27 goals and 56 assists. He became the second highest scorer of his team. The best was Sidney Crosby, who scored 90 points (33+57).
The Russian player played in 10 matches this season and scored seven goals and six assists in these matches. Pittsburgh has lost its last three games.
