Free Agency Predictions
Here are my free agency predictions for the Pens based on absolutely nothing...
Hossa gone (Boston? Montreal?)
Orpik gone (Buffalo? Atlanta?)
Dupius, Rutuu, Laraque, Hall signed
Eaton likely gone (solid defender - too injury prone)
New contracts for Malkin, Fleury and Staal
New acquisitions: Niklas Hagman, LW, Dallas and Jay Pandalfo, LW, New Jersey
Okay Pandalfo is a stretch. Lou Lam would be stupid not to resign him. But if the Pens could pry him away they would win twice (new player + loss of player for competing team in division)
Personally I would like to see Hagman in a Pens uni. He had 27 goals last years playing only 15 mins/game and by all accounts he is a great, fast skater. How many goals do you think he'd rack up along side Crosby or Malkin???
James Mirtle has a solid UFA rundown found here
TSN will be an excellent place for the latest information, if you plan to follow along at home/work.
Sit tight...the fun begins in just a few short hours....GGG

Free Agency is Here!
Today marks the start of free agency in the NHL. Here is a list of unrestricted free agents (UFAs). If you are a Pens fan like the Garbage Goal Guru, then this is the day you have been dreading.
The million dollar question....WWHD (what will Hossa do)?
Will Ray Shero look like a genius or will he fill the role of the goat?
If Shero signs Malkin, Fleury, and a few others but not Hossa and Orpik, will fans give him a pass?
What unhearalded UFA can Shero nab this year ala Sykora or Sydor?
Courtesy of TSN.CA here is the all important timeline...
Jul. 1: Free Agency period begins
Jul. 5: Deadline for player-elected salary arbitration
Jul. 6: Deadline for club-elected salary arbitration
Jul. 20 - Aug. 4 : Salary arbitration hearings held
Aug. 6: Deadline for arbitration decisions to be rendered
If you are a hockey fan this day is right up in terms of excitement with the trading dealine and NHL draft.
Stay tuned....GGG
