Russian connection to play for Penguins

Evgeni Malkin, widely considered the top player in the world by many signed his first NHL contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, slightly more than three weeks after ‘escaping’ his Russian team and making a secret trip to the United States.

Although 19 yr old Malkin is concerned for his safety for leaving on such terms, he is eager to play in the US. He is now in the process of confirming his US Visa for status in the US.

Malkin’s contract terms are effectively set by the NHL labor agreement, and are within the region of $984,2000, plus incentives worth $2.85 million per season.
