Malkin?

In the continuing series of ? posts, there is no indication of the status of the transfer agreement between the NHL and the Russian folks. According to this article in the Post-Gazette, the Russians haven't indicated that they signed the agreement. This is somewhat troubling for the Pens, who desperately need to get Malkin over here. However, I don't think it's all bad news - the best quote of the article comes from Mr. Shero himself, who said:

"I'm not going out and getting a centericeman because I'm counting on having Malkin."

We are too, Ray.
