Wednesday July 2, 2008
Upon reading of the resigning of Brooks Orpik, I began wondering what the blue line would look like next year. We have 8 NHL caliber defensemen and one on the fringe. Many would agree that Sydor is one of the defensemen who will be pushed off the game roster. Who else goes though?

If Orpik Leaves
Mike Adams | Pittsburgh Penguins
Friday June 6, 2008

My guess is somebody is going to offer him more than Shero is willing to pay (a la Scott Hannan, Jay McKee, and we know how those turned out). So, operating on that assumption, what does Shero do?
