The Pittsburgh Penguins took action to fill the gaps on the wing left by the departures of Ryan Malone and Marian Hossa on Thursday, signing right winger Miroslav Satan and winger Ruslan Fedotenko to one year contracts.
Satan, who had 41 points in 80 games with the NY Islanders last season, will earn $3.5 million, while Fedotenko, another ex-Islander, had 33 points in 67 games and will make $2.5 million.
Neither will fully replace what Malone and Hossa contributed
to the Penguins last season and will be seen as stopgap replacements, but at
least GM Ray Shero has addressed the lack of depth on the wing in the wake of
Hossa and Malone's departures with a pair or decent free agents
This probably means we can scratch those speculations of Jaromir Jagr and Markus Naslund signing with the Penguins.
