5 DEC 2025: AT 36:58 DUNCS CHATS RETIREMENT, HIS HHOF INDUCTION, SEABS, THE HAWKS RIVALRIES + THE CORE

"Yeah its special. You get to play with certain guys for such a long time you develop a real close bond, and then being able to win with one another kinda adds to those memories, but I keep in touch with all of 'em.

I just stayed at Seabrooks house. My sons team had a tournament out in Medicine Hat so we stopped at Seabs house, he just moved to Calgary, we stopped there on the way there, tired me out before the tournament and then my son wanted to hang out with his son after, so we stopped again on the way back. It took me a week to recover after spending a couple nights at Seabs house.

Its good to see all the guys y'know. Hoss gets the group chats going every once in a while cos I think theres a few things in Chicago this year with our cup celebration weekend.

And I got to spend a week in Arizona with Tazer, hes training and skating with a skating coach that I know.

Kaners a little more low-key, low profile. I send him the odd text once in a while there. I like to watch him cos I know that he wants the puck all the time and if he doesn't get the puck I'll text him and let him know whoever it was shoulda got you the puck (laughs).

But yeah its great, I think that we always have that connection back in Chicago and for all of us its a second home because of that."

Duncs out here keeping the core alive in 2025 and letting slip there's a possible cup celebration incoming...? (x)

Malkin re-signs with Penguins for five years

Sports Illustrated | July 2, 2008

Evgeni Malkin is staying in Pittsburgh for quite some time.

The Penguins signed the MVP finalist to a five-year extension worth $43.5 million on Wednesday, a deal that will keep him under contract until 2013-14. The 21-year-old forward still has one year left on his initial three-year, entry level contract.

His deal is equal to one signed last year by teammate Sidney Crosby that begins with the upcoming season.

"This is an important signing for our franchise and the city of Pittsburgh and we commend Evgeni on his commitment to the future of the franchise and the city," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said in a statement. "This signing continues to ensure the young core of this team can stay intact for years to come."

The Penguins also signed a six-year, $22.5 million contract with defenseman Brooks Orpik, considered by Shero to be a "mainstay." The deal averages $3.75 million per year, or less than Orpik was offered elsewhere.

Signing Malkin was key to the Penguins, who lost Marian Hossa to the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings and forward Jarkko Ruutu to the Ottawa Senators earlier Wednesday. Without a new deal, Malkin could have become a free agent after next season. That led to speculation that Malkin could be dealt by the Penguins, though Shero said such talk was mere fantasy.

"There was never ever a consideration of trading Evgeni Malkin. I have never offered Evgeni Malkin to any team," Shero said.

Malkin will earn $9 million for each of the first four seasons of the deal and then $7.5 million in 2013-14. He has one year left at $984,000.

Malkin, vacationing in the Maldives, did not immediately comment on the deal. But his agent at CAA Sports, J.P. Barry, said his client is "excited to stay in Pittsburgh."

"He really enjoyed what happened the last two years and he hopes the team can make a run again next year," Barry said.

Crosby and Malkin took discounts to stay in Pittsburgh, as each could have made about $11 million per season under the NHL salary cap. Hossa, however, went elsewhere despite being offered a far longer deal and much more overall money by Pittsburgh.

The Penguins reportedly offered Hossa $7 million per year for as few as five years or as long as seven years. Instead, he took Detroit's $7.4 million, one-year offer because he felt the Red Wings offered the best chance to win the Stanley Cup next season.

"I feel like Detroit is the team," said Hossa, who had 12 goals and 14 assists in the playoffs while playing on Crosby's line.

After the Stanley Cup finals last month, Hossa said he was willing to play at a discount to stay in Pittsburgh and challenge again for the Cup.

Malkin had 47 goals and 59 assists last season and was a first-team All-Star and a finalist for the Hart Trophy, which is given to the NHL's most valuable player.

Malkin was selected by the Penguins with the second overall pick in the 2004 draft. He scored 33 goals in the 2006-07 season on his way to being selected the league's rookie of the year.

Orpik played 78 games last season, recording a goal and 10 assists. The 27-year-old defenseman ranked fifth in the NHL with 239 hits.
