Pittsburgh Penguins Accused of "Sports Terrorism" in Signing of Malkin
- Thread starter EagerBeaver
- Start date
Again, it's all about money. Agreement or not. I understand the Russian federation's plight that professional leagues are raiding their crop of young hockey stars, but that's life! Junior hockey in Canada is in the same boat as they are.
malkin sign a contract last week with the russian team so we should wait a year in order to see him
Malkin Missing But Said To Be Safe; Reportedly Has A Canadian Visa

It doesn't matter. With a good agent, he should be able to get out of that and play for the Penguins. Also, the Pens want him and they'll chip in to compensate the Russians. One thing for sure, he ain't going back to Russia.
Habs vs Malkin
Pens at Habs: Feb. 4, 2007
Only visit of Crosby and Malkin to Montreal this season.
Anyone wanna go?

That's like 10 years ago, dude. Also, it should be pointed out that unlike this case, Yashin played for the Red Army in his own country even though he was under contract to the Sens. Imagine the Sens flying to hostile territory and demanding that the Moscow Red Army hand him over
!When i sign a contract with a customer i do respect it. Going back on your word is no way to make business
Wake up and smell the java
There is a real world and then there is the world of pro athletes and their agents.

V11,
Picasso is right, and this is why we have such a thing as liquidated damages clauses. A liquidated damages clause actually anticipates a breach of a contract and is a negotiated resolution of the damages in advance of the signing of the contract. I would be surprised if there was not such a clause in Malkin 's contract with the Russian team. If enforceable, it will serve to cap the damages in any lawsuit against Malkin and the Penguins, although if it is solid and enforceable, the Penguins will settle and the Russian team will be quietly paid to go away and shut up in the amount they could recover under such a clause.

do you mean good= good or good= bad
Just curious of your definition of "good" here?
Do you mean like good he can get whatever he wants for his player (and himself) or do you mean good as in he will play by the rules and and not less than ideal ways of working for his client?
Sorry I thought it was funny seeing the adjective "good" in front of the word Agent. Anyway Minnesota Wild are the Stanley Cup winners this year!

ROFLMAO - I wouldn't be mapping out a parade route for the Twin Cities just yet my friend...Anyway I personally don't give a dam about his old club in Russia, watching him and Crosby play together is going to be a treat for everyone. I can't wait! This kid will be Rookie of the Year - hands down.

Dear Mr. Wiseass,
How's this for an explanation? Let's say you got busted for DUI. In that case, you'd better hope you get a really good lawyer to represent you. Does that help you understand this a little better now?
As for the Minnesota Wild winning the Stanley Cup, keep dreaming and fantasizing dude

Hey Spin,
How ya doing in your new digs, buddy? I agree with your assessment of Malkin. After watching him play in the Olympics, this guy is for real. To call him the best player in the world not to play in the NHL might be an understatement. Can't hardly wait for the start of the NHL season.
Malkin Scores in First Game
Malkin scored his first goal for the Penguins tonight in his very first NHL game.
