As we just reported on our 32 Thoughts feature on Hockey Night in Canada the John Klingberg camp is looking for a deal in the $62-66 million range over an 8 year term.

Add two years to the contract and you've got it in the range his camp wants.

If he's UFA Pens can't sign him to 8 year contract.

Would probably have to sign him to Hamilton contract to make it work.

Forgot about that rule, agree.

i did it for fun because i believe they'll bring one of malkin or letang back. letangs game hasn't dropped off yet and based on what other d men are getting he'll want to maximize his payday and kilingberg is his replacement in this scenario but i don't think hextall will ultimately do it. i don't see any teams offering malkin anything big because of his injury history. if he agrees to take a slight pay cut i think he'll be back for a few more years

If Bones keeps his job we won’t be in the playoffs and we can trade him to you at the TDL so you can give him the 8 years he wants

I’m unsure what’d it take to acquire him but if it’s a haul the pens probably couldn’t afford a trade
