How are the Pens going to keep these guys? Then the following year, Malkin and Staal are due for new contracts.

This should be an interesting off season and I wonder how many guys are going to sign for the big bucks, or will some take less money with hopes of winning a Stanley Cup ( a la Brian Rafalski)

Rumor around Boston is that they are hot and heavy for Hossa.

Montreal wants him pretty bad too.

Hopefully he enjoyed his run in the playoffs with Pens and will take a few less money to play on a team that has a good chance and making it back to the Finals.

Detroit and Tampa made some nice deals so far.

My Pens, got a nice kick in the face from Hossa
