Malkin Saga Update...

The big question is now...Where is Evgeni Malkin?

The answer might not be known for awhile but growing speculation is that he is either in Canada, where his agents have a secondary office and he was believed to have a Canadian visa, or New York, where he reportedly flew. Either way everyone is certian that he fled so that he can join the Pens this year.

When I first heard of the news that he had signed a new one-year deal with his Russian team, I thought maybe he is scared to come over because of comfort level he has in Russia or the easist way to please both sides is to finish up one more year and then be free to go wherever. However something in the back of my mind wondered if the existence of old Russia came into play where he was pressured into signing and all his Russian team is seeing is green. Well the latest chapter proves the latter true because word from his family is that he has "snapped" because of all the pressure on him from his Russian team and his feeling of keeping his word with the Pens because he told them he would be here this season.
