Pittsburgh Penguins veteran Evgeni Malkin is reportedly expected to hit the open market when free agency begins Wednesday, July 13, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Malkin, who's spent his entire 981-game NHL career with the Penguins, has never tested free agency before and reportedly wants to explore his options. He just played out the final season of an eight-year deal with a $9.5-million cap hit.
