Sidney Crosby's long-time teammate Evgeni Malkin lifts the lid on his Pens future amid rumors of franchise breaking up core (Source: Imagn)
Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins have had a tough start this season. The Penguins with a 6-9-3 record, are 6th in the Metropolitan Division and have the worst goal differential in the conference. This has led to talks about breaking up the team’s core.
However, General Manager Kyle Dubas has made it clear that a full roster overhaul is unlikely. According to Rob Rossi of The Athletic, Crosby, Malkin and Bryan Rust are considered "untouchable" and won’t be part of any trade talks.
Amid these rumors, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby’s long-time teammate, spoke about his commitment to the team. Malkin’s words show his loyalty to Pittsburgh and his wish to keep playing with Crosby and defenseman Kris Letang.
