It will be a different team come October, however shero has done what he said he do and that was keeping the core together. Malkin, Fluery, and Orpik have all gotten long-term deals, and we may even see Jordan Staal re-signed by the beginning of the season. Pascal Dupis (3 Years)and Mark Eaton (2 years) and Coach Michael Therrien has been re-signed also, 3 more years with the Penguins.
The core is intact but we had some players on the move and the most notable were Ryan Malone to Tampa, Gary Roberts to Tampa, Adam Hall to Tampa, Marian Hossa to Detroit, Ty Conklin to Detroit, George Laraque to Montreal, Jarkko Ruutu to Ottawa.
Shero added plenty of talent to replace all that was lost in the 07-08 offseason. Miroslav Satan and Ruslan Fedotenko from NY Islanders, Matt Cooke from Washington, Eric Godard from Calgary, and probably the most anticipated signing Janne Peasonen from Finland. Janne has been tearing up the Finland league and we signed him to a 1 year, 2 way contract, we all hope that he can adapt to the small rink and more physical NHL.
