Pens Make Deal With Malkin, Dupuis Re-Signs

PITTSBURGH (CBS) ― The Penguins appear to have their biggest two stars under contract. Sources tell CBS station KDKA-TV the Pens and Evgeni Malkin have agreed to a 5-year contract.

The new contract will kick in for the 2009-2010 season, and it's believed to be around the same deal Sidney Crosby signed last year for $8.7 million dollars per season.

Since Malkin has one more year left on his entry-level contract, this new extension will keep him with the Penguins for the next 6 years.

The framework of the deal is apparently in place and it will likely be officially announced in the next couple of days once the paperwork is completed.

Also today, the Penguins re-signed one of their free agent forwards. Pascal Dupuis agreed to a 3-year contract that pays him $1.4 million per season.
