It’s done! The Penguins announced they have re-signed Evgeni Malkin to a one-year contract extension. Patrick and Hunter begin the Tuesday edition of Locked On Penguins by discussing the breaking news that the Penguins and Evgeni Malkin have agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract to keep him in Pittsburgh for at least one more season. For the Penguins, this contract hits all the right notes: Geno remains a Penguin, the cap hit is small, and it keeps the Penguins fanbase happy. For Malkin, there are a lot of performance bonuses to keep him motivated to help the team. (0:00) Then, the season in review series continues as they look at another player who had his best season in a Penguins uniform, this time, it’s Noel Acciari. Despite a solid season, he’s a pending UFA, so should they bring him back, or is it time to move on? (12:16) Finally, a couple of Penguins are making a big impact for Team USA at the World Championships, and later this week, they’ll take on the behemoth in Canada. (22:37)

LFG!
I'm glad Geno Machino is coming back. BOO-YEAH
The bonuses should be motivation
GENO MACHINO!!!
I am satisfied with the direction of the Pittsburgh Penguins
ArtyParty is next
Love to see it. Great contract. Move him to wing full time this upcoming season and go get a good second line center. Maybe Trocheck? 👀
Ok, as long as he realizes he's a shooter not a playmaker. Too many turnovers trying to be a playmaker.
I agree about Geno and Acciari. A. Hayes or Soderblom can fill his skates except for the most part. He is an elite shot blocker, a dieing art. Those blocks will be missed.
Didn’t realize Acciari has been playing for so long ! 1920 wow 😮
Should make the Yegor Chinakhov signing slightly easier. I hope he signs for more than 1 year though
Did Pat really call Clifton a good penguin L O L
Guys i’ll admit I left a hot take on Friday that I didn’t know what was going to happen with Malkin giving Kyle Dubas’s comments at his end of season pressor, but with that being said, I have absolutely zero issues with this at all.
It’s only for one year like you said nobody’s being blocked, if it was for more than only one year I probably would’ve had an issue with it but for one year I have no problems at all.
I do think his days as a center are done so he will probably play the wing again next season which I am perfectly fine with but it’s curious to know who do you think is the second line center for next season? Still Novak, does Kyle Dubas go out and try to acquire someone or does Ben Kindel get some looks next year at second line center?
Hi guys, thanks for the great show. YES, GENO'S BACK!!! I think I just said enough there. As for Accairi, I know people are saying Avery is ready……but, is he? I mean, how many games has he played with the Pens? How we'll has he fit into the 4th line so far? I just think we sign him for 1 more year, 2$mill, he plays 50ish games and Avery plays the other 34 games or so. Avery learns how chemistry works on that line. Besides how important Neol is in the locker room. Just my thoughts…….
Guys, we are pissed, Canada 🇨🇦 that is! I mean, our Captain was hurt and missed the finals with the USA 🇺🇸. Not only that he missed it, did you notice how lost our PP was in the final? McDavid and Nate trying to set eachother up from opposite sides of the ice for one timers, really guys!? What the hell was that, eh!? Now, imagine Sid there……a whole different PP, right?! Anyways, this, in two years, in 4 years in France 🇫🇷 etc etc it's been marked on team Canada's board. Also, as a Pens fan, for the love of God please Dubas do not go get Matthews!!!
Now, Chinakhov signing, a trade or two, and the draft, this could be an exciting summer, eh!?
Blessings guys, Victor 🙏
Kinda hoping we moved on from him., We should be trying to get faster, and younger. Glad he should retire a Pen tho.
Just like the Steelers getting older Not getting younger
Im incredibly thankful for the resigning of geno machino! Great ep guys i cant put it into words how excited i am to not see someone else in his spot🙂🖤💛
The Pens are lacking strong centers that can win face-offs.
Why?
