Can the Penguins salvage this relationship with Evgeni Malkin? Josh Yohe returns to the show...

As promised, Josh Yohe of The Athletic joins the show to touch on EVERYTHING regarding the Pittsburgh Penguins. The two first chat about Evgeni Malkin (3:00) and if the team and his side can reconvene for a deal, plus how the Malkin camp is truly feeling right now. Josh also touches on how Sidney Crosby is doing his part to try and get Malkin to stay (and he never goes into these negotiations), plus if a four-year term was really offered, and who is to blame in this situation. He goes into the chances that Malkin potentially stays before Hunter & him go into potential replacements. What would a Vince Trocheck contract look like? Is there a way to trade for JT Miller? The two also discuss if the Penguins are close to offloading a defenseman and argue for which one it should be before getting into the Rickard Rakell deal. How fast did that one come together? Is there concern about the term and AAV? What happens if he doesn't play with Crosby? All that, plus a lot of other info is in this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.
