The situation with this kid is unbelievable...
First he says he's leaving, then he turns right around and signs a 1 year contract, all the Pens' fans get pissed, then he turns back around and escapes while the team is in Finland for training camp...
Supposedly, he'll go to Canada and make visa arrangements before heading to Pittsburgh....
Other snippets I'm reading now say that the NHL is supporting his decision...
Methinks that his agents, the NHL, and the Pens knew EXACTLY what was going to happen....
If it turns out to be true, this is great news !!!
"Evgeni Malkin has gone AWOL from Metallurg. As a source at the club told a gazeta.ru reporter, the forward, who came to Finland with his team to hold a training camp has left the team on Saturday with his personal belongings and travel documents. His whereabouts are unknown."

AND IF YOU CAN'T READ THAT JUMBO, HERE'S THE TRANSLATION OF THE TRANSLATION....
Quick summary:
Metallurg forward Malkin has left the team. Then they discuss how he recently signed a new contract on his terms after negotiations with the team president. Also, according to Velichkin he received a raise.
Thus, he ended up with two contracts. The first contract was the one he signed in Toronto with Pittsburgh. But since the NHL - IIHF agreement was not signed it was likely a wasted effort. Since Daly allowed clubs to sign Russian players starting August 7th, if Malkin wants to play in the NHL, he has to once again show up at the Penguins' office.
Most likely this is where Malkin was headed on Saturday. According to a source from the Metallurg camp, Malkin left without giving any notice to club management. He has all of his necessary documents to travel to Canada, including an open visa.
Currently, Velichkin is refusing to comment. Earlier he showed his indifference to whether Malkin continues his career with Metallurg by saying that receiving good compensation is as good as the player actually staying with the team.
It is interesting that Malkin refused to comment after signing his new contract with Metallurg. And since then, J.P. Barry has said that Malkin still wants to play in the NHL. It seems that the player has laughed at the attempts of his native club and will not return anytime soon. He has left behind his new restaurant "VIP zone" where he celebrated his birthday July 31st.
