Impossible. Absent an IIHF agreement Pittsburgh is forbidden to negotiate one thin dime, let alone $200,000. Move aside that you did not link it, the story is on its face bogus.
As I said above, wading through most of the quotes, Malkin seems to be looking for any out he can get. Including the 14 day out. He has a contract if all those fail, and one where he can go to the Pens no matter what next year with no fuss, not even a $200,000 fee being paid. But it is pretty clear from his words and his agents' statements that he is going to exhaust every avenue to try and get out this year if possible. Including, as I said, the 2 week out rule. Another interesting statement was that the IIHF negotiations are not dead and that Malkin still hopes to use that out this year. Again, if the G&M article is to be believed, that contract is a fall back plan if all else fails, not anything more. In the end Malkin may very well give Metallurg Magnitogorsk one more year. But that is hardly a sure thing right now as so many here seem to think.
