MOSCOW (CP) - The Evgeni Malkin saga is far from over.
A Russian arbitration tribunal issued a court order Friday prohibiting the Russian centre from playing in the NHL. But exactly what that means isn't clear.
"We are happy to review and consider anything that may be provided to us," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Canadian Press on Friday. "Having said that, we remain very dubious as to the validity or binding effect of a private arbitration panel's decision on the matters that are at issue here."
A Pittsburgh Penguins spokesman said Friday that Malkin would be at camp as scheduled this weekend. Pittsburgh's first pre-season game goes Tuesday night in Halifax against the Ottawa Senators.
Said Malkin's agent Pat Brisson: "Our legal advisors will respond at the appropriate time."
