From Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Amid speculation that the Penguins were about to send Ryan Malone to a Western
Conference team for a player and/or draft pick, Malone’s agent signaled last night that his client was not interested in such a deal and that Malone would rather wait to become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Also, here is the report on Malone from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

It looks like Malone was not happy with his possible trade destinations and has decided to test the market. You can’t fault him for choosing to take this route, as it is within his right under the current CBA.

As for the Penguins, they have to be disappointed that they couldn’t get anything in return for their impending free agent.
