Evgeni Malkin doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Rumors swirled Tuesday on social media that the Chicago Blackhawks were kicking tires in regards to the Pittsburgh Penguins center, but general manager Jim Rutherford quickly doused those flames.

"We're not looking to move him," Rutherford said, according to Jenn Menendez of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I did not get an inquiry from any team."

Malkin was limited to just 57 games during the regular season, but still managed 27 goals and 58 points. He also added another 18 points in the postseason.
