NEWS ALERT: #Pens have agreed to terms with forward Evgeni Malkin on an eight-year $76 million contract extension: http://pens.pe/12pwjMb

was just about to post this lol

second-highest cap hit in the NHL, just behind Alex Ovechkin at $9.538M.

for the 2nd best player

^^...

Kristiāns Pelšs reported dead

does his contract get nullified or what happends

If he's dead he can't deliver on his side of the contract so he isn't entitled to it. Basically yes it is nullified.
Latvia is saying it was a drowning, after attempting to leap to his death from a bridge in Riga

High pressure environment to be a prospect.

CapGeek ‏@capgeek 3m #NHL #Penguins have five players signed taking up $33.2M in cap space in 2014-15. Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Martin, Fleury.
Based on next season's cap, that would leave $31.1M for the remaining 18 players to fill out a 23-man roster -- $1.72M each. #NHL #Pens

They also have to re-sign Letang, who will make north of $7m, maybe even $8m. Assuming they re-sign him for $8m, the Pens would have $23.1m to sign 17 players

Letang's not going to get paid 8m even if he wins the Norris which he won't

malkin signed to 8 year, 9.5mill/yr extension

No way Letang gets 8...

If he does, Shero is retarded.

Yea.. When was the last time he played a full season? He could pull 6 on a short term then higher if he keeps performing on his next contract renewal.
Fleury will be bought out soon IMO. They could even ride Vokoun a year or they could trade for someone like Bernier
