Why Pittsburgh kicks Malkin out on the street. The Penguins won three Stanley Cups with Gino, and now he is too old and sick
Dmitry Temnikov
Author
07/12/2022
The veteran was offered a contract, but did it without respect
Evgeni Malkin is ready to take his family and make Pittsburgh a pen.

The Pittsburgh legend is getting closer to the market of unrestricted free agents. Evgeni Malkin has not agreed with the club to extend the contract, less than a day remains before the deadline, and his agent says that it’s all over. It seems that the parties have already decided everything a long time ago. They quarreled, did not come to a common opinion and staged an ostentatious hassle. Well, who is to blame for this?
Update : Malkin and Pittsburgh came to an agreement at the last minute. Read about the new contract here.
Malkin’s agent confirmed the hockey player’s decision to enter the free agent market
Gino is pissed off at the salary offer
Talk about problems with the re-signing of the contract appeared a year ago, but no one could have imagined such a drama. Everyone was just waiting for the new season and hoping for exploits from Malkin.
And then Gino had a relapse of an old injury, due to which he missed half of the regular season. It became anxious. 35-year-old Malkin returned to the ice in January and produced a powerful streak of 20 goals and 22 assists in 41 games. Feel better.
Pittsburgh was eliminated in the first round of the CS, Evgeny failed in the playoff against the Rangers. It rolled up again.
And so constantly. And when it came to real negotiations, a real storm raged. Eugene did not agree to Pittsburgh’s offer (3-year contract, $5 million a year), considering it a personal insult. The club did not want to adapt to the requests of the star grandfather. Further discussions did not lead to a constructive one. As a result, Eugene freaked out and unsubscribed from the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh social networks. True, then he returned. Typical surveillance of the former.

Was Malkin different? Should he have agreed to Pittsburgh’s terms?
Zhenya is an adult boy, he is free to choose his candy according to his taste.
Pittsburgh also extended 35-year-old Chris Letang until 2028, although he had the same pre-contract grater with management. But the American put the squeeze on the Penguins bosses, achieved his conditions – 6 million dollars a year for six whole years.
But whether Malkin himself compromised – history is silent. Insiders write that both sides imagine themselves to be mountain goats. “Pittsburgh” offered Eugene to moderate his appetites, the hockey player was not going to reduce his salary from 9.5 million to 5. So we talked.
“Pittsburgh” does not want to spend millions on “crystal”
The last seasons of Gino went according to the usual scenario: a search for himself, a couple of matches as in the good old days and an injury. Serious injury. Over the past 10 years, the Russian has not taken part in 193 NHL games. For example, Ovi missed only 27 meetings over the same period. Turn on the manager of a serious club in you, dreaming of its former greatness, and answer the question: do you need such a fragile crystal to build a champion team?
Last season, Malkin worked with a bang: he became the club’s fourth sniper in the regular season, having played almost two times less than his partners.
But there are also problems. Zhenya lost speed, and his defensive skills died altogether: his utility index was “minus 32” over the past four years. And although statistics do not always give the big picture, everything is clear in the case of Malkin. Unfortunately, the striker has aged. And to remain a premium car, despite the huge mileage, is not given to everyone.

Veterans in price. But not the fact that Malkin will find a new hockey love
Deadline for negotiations – today. And on July 13, Malkin will enter the market of unrestricted free agents. This means that he can go to absolutely any NHL team. There are no specific rumors on the proposals yet. Except for one thing: the other day, the wife of hockey player Anna Kasterova agreed on the transfer of her beloved to Minnesota with the wife of goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury. Too bad it’s just a meme for now.
In the order of delirium, you can think about “Washington”.
A bunch of Ovi-Gino would be the most badass organized crime group in the history of the league. But does Malkin himself need such experience? In May, he said: “I hope that I will stay in Pittsburgh. Hopefully I’ll retire here.” Somehow I can’t believe it anymore.
Under Malkin, the Penguins won three Stanley Cups (2009, 2016, 2017). The forward always dragged the team along with Sidney Crosby, and in 2009 he became the first Russian hockey player with the Conn Smythe Trophy, the prize for the most valuable player in the playoffs. The club appreciated the guy from the very moment he fled to the USA from Metallurg in 2006. And here you are – a painful break after 16 years of marriage. They say that tomorrow the “penguins” will announce the departure of the player.
Whether the chemistry in the relationship has disappeared or not is not a question for us. But it cannot be ruled out that Malkin will not find his hockey love anymore.

How to Make Pittsburgh a Startup Hub / Sudo Null IT News
“Should Universities Launch Programs with Words Like Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Name? No, they shouldn’t.
Such things almost always turn out to be disappointments. They are pursuing the wrong goals.”
“Universities are great at bringing founders together, but beyond that, the best thing they can do is get out of the way.”
— Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator, programmer, investor, essayist
Original — How to Make Pittsburgh a Startup Hub
April 2016

(I gave this lecture at an event called Opt412 in Pittsburgh. Much of this applies to other cities. But not all, because, as I said, Pittsburgh has some important advantages over most possible start-up hubs)
What needs to be done to turn Pittsburgh into a startup hub like Silicon Valley? I feel like I think Pittsburgh is very good because I grew up here in Monroeville. And I understand Silicon Valley very well because I live now. Could you get such a startup ecosystem here?
When I agreed to speak here, I don’t think I was in a position to give a very optimistic lecture.
I thought I’d be talking about what Pittsburgh might be to do to become a startup hub, but there would be too many “woulds”. Instead, I’ll talk about what the Pittsburgh can do with the .

What changed my mind was an article I read in all the New York Times food sections. The title was Pittsburgh’s Youth-Centered Food Boom. For most, this will not cause even a drop of interest, not to mention something related to startups. But this title caught my attention. I don’t think I could have chosen a more promising title if I had tried. After reading the article, I was even more impressed. It said that “people between the ages of 25 and 29years now make up 7.6 percent of all residents, up from 7 percent about a decade ago.” Wow, I thought, Pittsburgh could be the next Portland. It can be a cool place for all people who, in their twenties, want to find their place in life.
When I got here a couple of days ago, I could feel the difference. I lived here from 1968 to 1984. I didn’t realize that at that time, during this whole period, the whole city was in free fall. At the height of the exodus to the suburbs, which has been happening everywhere, both steel and nuclear plants are dying. Guys, something has changed! It’s not just that the center seems much more prosperous. There is an energy here that wasn’t there when I was a kid.
When I was a child, this was the place that young people left. Now this is the place that attracts them.
What should be done with startups? After all, startups are made up of people, and the average age of people in a typical startup is just between 25 and 29.
I’ve seen how powerful it is for a city to have these people. Five years ago, they moved the center of gravity of Silicon Valley from the peninsula to San Francisco. Google and Facebook are on a peninsula, but the next generation of big winners are all in San Francisco.
The reason why the center of gravity shifted was the war for talent, especially for programmers. Most 25 to 29years want to live in the city, and not down in the boring suburbs. So like it or not, the founders know they have to be in town. I know many founders who would have preferred to live in the valley, but had to move to San Francisco or lose the talent war.
So being a magnet for twenty year olds is a very promising thing. It is hard to imagine a place that becomes a startup hub, but has not yet become one. When I read this statistic about the increase in the percentage of people from 25 to 29years, I had exactly the same feeling of excitement that I get when I see a start-up graph start to creep up from the x-axis.
The national percentage for ages 25 to 29 is 6.8%. This means you are .0.8% ahead. The population is 306,000, so we are talking about a surplus of about 2,500 people. This is the population of a small town, and this is only an excess. Thus, you have a fulcrum.
Now you just have to expand it.
While a “youth food boom” may sound frivolous, it is far from being the case. Restaurants and cafes are a big part of the city’s identity. Imagine walking down the street in Paris. What are you passing by? Small restaurants and cafes. Imagine that you are driving through some depressed suburban area. What are you passing by? Starbucks and McDonalds and Pizza Hut. As Gertrude Stein said, neither here nor there. You can be anywhere.
These independent restaurants and cafes do more than just feed people. They make you be here
So here’s my specific recommendation for making Pittsburgh the next Silicon Valley: do whatever you can to stimulate this youth food boom. What can the city do? Study the people who create these small restaurants and cafes as users and ask them what they want. My guess is that at least one thing they might want is a quick permit process. San Francisco has left you with a huge amount of room to beat them in this area.
I know that restaurants are not the main driving force. The main driver, according to the Times article, is cheap housing. This is a big advantage. But this phrase “cheap housing” is a little misleading. There are many places that are cheaper. The thing about Pittsburgh is not that it’s cheap, it’s that it’s a cheap place where you actually want to live.
Some of it is the buildings themselves. I learned long ago when I was poor in my twenties that the best deals were places that were once rich and then became poor. If the place has always been rich, it’s good, but too expensive. If the place has always been poor, it’s cheap but gloomy. But if this place was once rich and then became poor, you can find palaces for cheap. And that’s what brings people together here. When Pittsburgh was rich, a hundred years ago, the people who lived here built large, solid buildings. Not always in the best taste, but definitely strong. So here’s another tip for becoming a startup hub: don’t destroy the buildings that attract people here.
When cities are on their way back up, like Pittsburgh is now, real estate developers are eager to demolish old buildings. Don’t let this happen. Focus on preserving history. Big real estate development projects aren’t what’s going to bring twenty-something year olds here. They are the opposite of new restaurants and cafes; they subtract personality from the city.
Empirical evidence suggests that you can’t be too strict about the protection of historical monuments. The more durable cities are the ones that are better built than they seem.
But the attraction of Pittsburgh is not only in the buildings themselves, but also in the neighborhoods. Like San Francisco and New York, Pittsburgh is lucky to be a pre-car city. It’s not very common. Because these people between 25 and 29 don’t like driving. They prefer to walk, or ride a bike or use public transport. If you’ve been to San Francisco lately, you can’t help but notice the sheer number of cyclists. And this is not just a whim that was accepted by twenty-something year olds.
In this regard, they discovered a better way to live. Beards will do, but not bikes. Cities that you can get around without a car are just the best point. So I would like to suggest that you do your best to capitalize on this. As with historic preservation, it seems impossible to go too far in this.
Why not make Pittsburgh the most bike and walk friendly city in the country? Look, if you can go that far, then you will make it seem like San Francisco is moving in the opposite direction compared to you. If you do, it is very unlikely that you will regret it. The city will seem like a paradise for the young people you want to attract. If they are forced to leave to get a job elsewhere, it will be a pity to leave such places behind. And what are the disadvantages? Can you imagine the headline “City destroyed by becoming too friendly to cyclists?” It just can’t be.
So let cool old neighborhoods and some cool little restaurants make the future of Portland. Will it be enough? This puts you in a better position than Portland itself, because Pittsburgh has something that Portland lacks: a top-notch research university.
Carnegie Mellon University plus little cafes means you have more than latte-drinking hipsters. This means you have hipsters drinking lattes while talking about distributed systems. Now you are getting very close to San Francisco.
You’re actually better than San Francisco on the one hand, because Carnegie Mellon University (UCM) is downtown, while Stanford and Berkeley are in the suburbs.
What can UKM do to help Pittsburgh become a startup hub? To be an even better research university. UKM is one of the best universities in the world, but imagine what it would be like if it was the best and everyone knew it. There are many ambitious people who have to go to the best place, wherever it is – even if it were in Siberia. If the UKM was like that, they would all come here. Children in Kazakhstan would dream of one day living in Pittsburgh.
Being a talent magnet is the most important contribution universities can make to making their city a startup hub. In fact, this is practically the only contribution they can make.
But wait, shouldn’t universities launch programs with words like “innovation” and “entrepreneurship” in the title? No, they shouldn’t. Such things almost always turn out to be disappointments. They are pursuing the wrong goals. The way to get innovation is not to strive for innovation, but to strive for something more specific, like better batteries or better 3D printing. And the way to learn about entrepreneurship is to do what you can’t do in school.
I know that hearing that the best thing a university can do to encourage start-ups is to be a great university may frustrate some administrators. It’s like telling people who want to lose weight that the way to do it is to eat less.
But if you want to know where startups are going, look at the empirical evidence. Look at the stories of the most successful startups and you’ll find that they grow organically from a few founders who build something that starts out as an interesting side project. Universities are great at bringing founders together, but beyond that, the best thing they can do is get out of the way.
For example, by not claiming ownership of the “intellectual property” developed by students and faculty, and by having liberal rules on extended access and time off.
In fact, one of the most effective things a university can do to encourage start-ups is to develop a form of getting out of the way that Harvard invented. Harvard used to hold exams for the fall semester after Christmas. At the beginning of January they had something called “Reading Period” when you had to study for exams. Both Microsoft and Facebook have something in common that few people realize: they both launched during the Reading Period. This is the ideal situation for getting this kind of side projects that turn into startups. All students are on campus, but they don’t have to do anything because they have to study for their exams.
Harvard may have closed this window because a few years ago they moved exams to before Christmas and reduced the reading period from 11 days to 7. But if the university really wanted to help its students start startups, empirical data weighted by market cap suggests the best they can do is literally nothing.
Pittsburgh’s culture is another of its strengths. It seems like a city has to be very socially liberal to be a startup hub, and it’s pretty clear why. A city has to tolerate weirdness to be home to startups, because startups are so weird. And you can’t just allow those forms of weirdness that will turn into big startups because they’re all mixed up. You have to endure all oddities.
This immediately excludes large chunks in the US. I’m optimistic, that doesn’t rule out Pittsburgh. One of the things I remember from growing up here, though I didn’t realize at the time, was that it wasn’t unusual about how well people got along. I still don’t know why. Maybe one of the reasons is that everyone felt like an immigrant. When I was a kid in Monroeville, people didn’t call themselves Americans. They called themselves Italians or Serbs or Ukrainians. Just imagine what it was like here a hundred years ago, when people flocked from twenty different countries. Tolerance was the only option.
What I remember about Pittsburgh’s culture is that it was both tolerant and pragmatic. That’s how I would describe the culture of Silicon Valley too. And this is no coincidence, because Pittsburgh was the Silicon Valley of its time. It was a city where people built new things. And while the things people build have changed, the spirit you need to do that kind of work is the same.
So while the influx of latte-hungry hipsters might be annoying in a way, I’d step aside to encourage them. And more generally tolerate weirdness, even to the extent that crazy Californians do. For Pittsburgh, it’s a conservative choice: it’s a return to the city’s roots.
Unfortunately, I’ve saved the toughest part for last. There’s one more thing it takes to make a startup hub that Pittsburgh doesn’t have: investors. Silicon Valley has a large investor community because it took 50 years to grow it. New York has a large investor community because it is full of people who love a lot of money and are quick to spot new ways to get it.
But Pittsburgh has none of that. And cheap housing, which attracts other people here, does not have any effect on investors.
If the investor community grows here, it will happen just like it did in Silicon Valley: slowly and organically. So I wouldn’t bet on having a large community of investors in the short term. But, fortunately, there are three trends that make it less necessary than it used to be. One is that startups are getting started more and more cheaply, so you just don’t need as much outside money as you’re used to. Secondly, thanks to things like Kickstarter, a startup can generate revenue faster. You can submit something to Kickstarter from anywhere in the world. Thirdly, programs such as Y Combinator. A startup from anywhere in the world can go to YC for 3 months, take the funds, and then return home if they want.
My advice is to make Pittsburgh a great place for startups, and gradually more of them will be delayed. Some of them will be successful; some of their founders will become investors; and more startups will be delayed.
