After the disappointing finish to the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins, a lot has been speculated on what will be next for the Penguins. Both long time Penguins Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are UFA's, along with forward Bryan Rust, who are all looking for potential raises and long-term deals.

Penguins Insider Rob Rossi stated that the Penguins offered both Letang and Malkin 3 year details worth around $15 million, which is a slap to the face for these two players who have produced and led the Penguins for so long. It's rumoured Crosby was not happy with these offers either and is a little upset with management right now.
