The suspense continues..
Could he be returning to where it all began?
Due to a high volume of traffic, FF experienced some server issues shortly after noon. We apologize for the inconvenience and don’t anticipate any further problems as the day continues.
Brian Rolston will test the market, Joni Pitkanen might be traded, and some teams will target several of the best free agents, while others have no intentions of being active.
The latest on Marian Hossa, Brooks Orpik and several role players.
One reporter out of Minnessota feels veteran forward Brian Rolston could have Pittsburgh on his short list of possible destinations once free agency begins tomorrow afternoon.
Free agency is over 14 hours away, and indications are that the first move by the Pittsburgh Penguins could be to sign Evgeni Malkin to a long-term contract. Also, Marian Hossa’s contract offer reportedly will not be sweetened by GM Ray Shero
The Tampa Bay Lightning are making a splash in a big way, adding plenty of character in veteran Gary Roberts
The native Pittsburgh officially will not return to the Penguins next season.
Sadly, the rumor-filled time between the Stanley Cup Finals and the first day of free agency is nearing an end. Let’s take a look at some of the junk we’ve had to sift through.
It appears Ryan Malone and Gary Roberts are close to signing with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
TSN is reporting the NHL has increased its salary cap for the fourth consecutive year.
While there is no word whether a contract has been offered to Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, an ongoing dialogue apparently is taking place between the two parties.
Update: The PG is reporting Orpik has declined the initial offer.
The Tribune-Review is reporting Penguins GM Ray Shero is expected to make a contract offer to defenseman Brooks Orpik today.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli is neither confirming nor denying that he has held talks with Marian Hossa’s agent.
The newly founded Continental League based in Russia apparently is willing to pony up significant cash to lure Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin away from the NHL.
Evgeni Malkin’s suggestion that he would be happy with Sidney Crosby-like money initially shocked his agent.
Apparently the rumored seven year, $50 million contract is not on the table.
Yesterday’s news that Ryan Malone will test the free agent market appears to be a solid indication that his tenure as a Pittsburgh Penguin has come to an end.
“It’s all up to Pittsburgh Penguins winger Marian Hossa now.”
Pittsburgh’s Darryl Sydor is just one of several recognizable names with the possibility of being bought out in the coming days/weeks.
Rob Rossi has confirmed an initial KDKA television report that the Penguins have placed Marian Hossa at the top of their priority list, plus Brooks Orpik supposedly is willing to take a pay cut in return for a long-term contract.
“The Pittsburgh Penguins have elected to file for salary arbitration with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.”
Rumors continue to circulate that Ryan Malone has played his last game for the Penguins, as Aaron Portzline reports the Penguins have made an initial offer to the Blue Jackets to trade the power forward.
You know something is wrong with the NHL when Jassen Cullimore and his 13 points received at least one vote for the Norris Trophy.
Marc-Andre Fleury suggests there likely won’t be any snags in his contract negotiations, while indications are that Marian Hossa will stay in Pittsburgh. Interestingly, though, Jordan Staal isn’t as happy with his role on the team as some might think.
A current order of selection for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Friday, June 20 (round 1) and Saturday, June 21 (rounds 2-7) at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.
There has plenty of talk going on regarding the situation with the potential unrestricted free agents in Pittsburgh, but this morning, things really seem to be heating up – and in a way not many thought might happen so soon.
arc-Andre Fleury’s playoff performance this season elevated his status from goalie of the future to goalie of the present, but his play in the Stanley Cup Finals was far from what many were expecting – despite an unbelievable performance in Game Five.
As if anyone put much stock into them, Penguins forward Max Talbot shot down the notion that coach Michel Therrien has created a rift between himself and his players.
With nearly a week separating us from the Stanley Cup, and just over three weeks until the start of free agency, July 1, it’s time to examine the Pittsburgh Penguins with an eye for what general manager Ray Shero should do.
We’ve picked the winners throughout the playoffs, now see which Faceoff Factor staffer has bragging rights.
