Ron Hextall on Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang's contract situations: "We have had discussions very recently, and will continue those. We would like to sign both players. We’d like to keep Geno as a Pittsburgh Penguin for the rest of his career; Tanger is the same."

When @MikeDeFabo asked Ron Hextall if, looking back, there was anything missing or something he wishes he had more of in terms of the identity of the team, he quipped: "A little more cap space would be great."
