After an exciting summer of leaving his Russian team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, after just signing with them, the youngster and his agent J.P. Barry had to figure out how to get Malkin into the United States.
Hours turned into days for Evegni, trying to stay out of sight of his Russian team while he and his agent worked on getting the proper paper work together so they both could get into the U.S.
Days later, Malkin appeared in Los Angeles at the Kings practice facility playing hockey with a smile on his face. He stayed in L.A. for three weeks.

On Monday night, Malkin arrived in Pittsburg, where he was shown around and was able to meet with Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby.
