Penguins want Malkin, Letang to finish NHL careers with them, GM says

"We would like to sign both players."Malkin played the final season of an eight-year, $76 million contract and Letang an eight-year, $58 million contract."I think you look at them individually, they've both been here 16 years," Hextall said. Pittsburgh has qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of its 16 seasons with Malkin and Letang, who expressed their desire to remain with the Penguins.Malkin said he would like to play another three or four seasons in the NHL. We'd certainly like to have them in the mix in September." Signing Malkin and Letang would help the rest of the roster take shape, Hextall said. I wish we had more pieces in place to make it a little more clear, but it's hard to even venture a guess where we'll end up." Letang had an NHL career-high 68 points (10 goals, 58 assists) in 78 games this season.
