NEW Details on Malkin Deal (5-years)

This from KDKA (it's pretty much what we already knew but has a few more details about Malkin's deal):

• Pens Make Deal With Malkin, Dupuis Re-Signs ― The Penguins appear to have their biggest two stars under contract. Sources tell KDKA Sports, the Pens and Evgeni Malkin have agreed to a 5-year contract. The new contract will kick in for the 2009-2010 season, and it's believed to be around the same deal Sidney Crosby signed last year for $8.7 million dollars per season. Since Malkin has one more year left on his entry-level contract, this new extension will keep him with the Penguins for the next 6 years. The framework of the deal is apparently in place and it will likely be officially announced in the next couple of days once the paperwork is completed.
