Glad Orpik signed with the pens. I would like to see what Jagr and Naslund can do with Crosby and Malkin at Centers. We don't need all-star wingers to play with those 2 centerman. Hell freakiin malone had a career year playing with Malkin and the year before he couldn't crack the top 2 lines in Pittsburgh.

Pens re-sign Fleury: 7ys--35MM
Sign Satan and Fedetenko to 1 year deals. Barring trades, that should be then end of their moves.

Penguins still have two roster spots open at the forward position, specifically left wing. Fedotenko and Dupuis are two left wingers. Satan, Sykora, Kennedy, and Godard are each right wingers, filling in the four required. Crosby, Malkin, Staal, and Talbot obviously fill in the four centers.
Defense is filled in with Gonchar, Orpik (Thank goodness), Whitney, Gill, Eaton, Letang, Scuderi, and Sydor. This is the problem I have with the way things have worked out. One of those d-men has to be dumped in my opinion, and the best choice is Sydor, since he carries a $2.5mil contract, and since Scuderi frankly has been playing better than him imo.
I'd love to see a salary dump of Sydor to fill the left wing spot. If they don't and Sydor plays well this year, well, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. But, if the Pens don't make a move for another left winger, then I will really be interested in seeing who gets called up from WBS to play for the big boys. Stone would be my guess, since the team desperately needs more power forwards. Tim Brent wouldn't be a bad choice either.

I'd love to see Staal move to Left Wing for the season to get his production going. Staal is not the type of player that makes people around him better, and if you put him with a player like Malkin (Rookie Season) he'll produce. I think ultimately thats the direction they're going to have to go.
Lines will look somthing like this..
Fedetenko-Crosby-Satan
Staal-Malkin-Sykora
Dupuis-Talbot-Kennedy
(??)-Taffe-Goddard
Gonchar-Eaton
Whitney-Orpik
Letang-Gill
(Maybe Scuderi plays in place of Letang)
Also Shero said on his press conference the other day they'd like to dump some salary with Sydor and pick up one more winger through either a trade or free agency. The pens I don't believe are done yet.....

Shero also said that Staal will be counted upon to fill alot of Malone's minutes. What that means, I'm not sure. Personally, I'd love to see him on Malkins wing. I think his talent is clearly wasted by centering the 3rd line. He's big, strong, has a great reach, is a good finisher and plays well along the boards. Let Max center the third line and put JS on the 2nd line.
