The Pittsburgh Penguins have been blessed with Hall of Fame-level talent throughout their history.
From Mario Lemieux to Jaromir Jagr to Sidney Crosby to Evgeni Malkin, Penguins fans have seen their wildest dreams come true. In the Crosby-Malkin era, the duo has produced three Stanley Cups and a combined three Hart Memorial Trophies, given to the NHL's Most Valuable Player at the end of the regular season.
But all good things come to an end. Malkin is coming to the end of his eight-year, $76 million contract he signed back in 2013 and has yet to play a game during the 2021-22 season.
