PENGUINS. ARE. NOT. TRADING. MALKIN.



There are many people out there right now saying that Geno is going to L.A.
It is really starting to piss me off now.  And it should piss you off too.
There are rumors out there, and many of them, as you know. 

Greg at Puck Daddy, who I hold in the highest regard, has an article on this situation.

However, I am not going to be able to agree that this is going to happen.

Eugene Malkin is not going anywhere.
Eugene Malkin is not going anywhere.

Do you honestly think that Mister Raymond Shero is dumb enough to dish Malkin for Mike Cammaleri and a chance to select an unproven prospect in Drew Doughty?

It is just not happening.

Sorry L.A.  

Talk about a rough week in California.  First, their Lakers lose the NBA Finals in 6 games, and now they don't get Malkin.  But they were never getting Malkin.  They still aren't.

I know this post is just saying the same thing over and over again,but it needs to be said.

EVGENI MALKIN IS NOT GETTING TRADED.

Have a nice day.

And yes, I did make that video.  

Take that to the bank.

First.

Amen. It is the most ridiculous rumor to spread.

I'm just so tired of it. My favorite is the one coming out today that says he's going back to Russia.

These rumors are just examples of why some people should not be allowed internet access.

IIHF News: IIHF statement, René Fasel

Although the International Ice Hockey Federation does not usually issue statements following unsubstantiated media reports, the IIHF finds it principally important to address the newspaper story (Toronto Star, June 20) that reports about the Russian league allegedly preparing an offer to Pittsburgh Penguin player Evgeni Malkin, who is under contract with the NHL-club.

“Although there will be no imminent Player Transfer Agreement between the IIHF and the NHL, all involved parties are in principal agreement to honour each other’s contracts,” says IIHF President René Fasel. “The NHL has informed the IIHF that this will be the policy of the league during the period without a PTA, and conversely, the IIHF has obligated its member national federations and leagues to do the same in its relations with the NHL.”

“We would view any signing, from either side, of a player under a valid contract, who does not have any legally valid out-clause, to be a clear violation of the mutual understanding and existing principle. It would potentially be punishable with suspended national team eligibility and suspension from all competition or activity organized by the IIHF or any IIHF member national association. This would include events like the Olympic Winter Games, the IIHF World Championship or international club competitions like the Champions Hockey League."

"Given this, we are confident that the report is not substantiated."

Ignore that comment ... the song is fine. Eric P. has some awesome videos, too! I love his Bugsy one and he used "Crazy Train" for his Ruutu Tribute.
