NHL: What Pittsburgh players are not going to return next season??

Question

OK, something like more then 10 UFA at the end of the season.

You Know Malkin is asking for more money next year!!!!

You know Fluery is gonna too?

Does Hossa stay?

Conklin could be Ottawa's answer in net?

Answer 1

Hossa and  Roberts

Answer 2

Hossa is gone, they have too many RFA and UFA to bother with him. They will likely keep Fluery and Malkin. As to Conklin that is a little harder. I think the Penguins would kinda like him, but it will depend on the money, and I think other teams will be interested and he is likely going. I think they try to keep Malone and Hal Gill as well.

Answer 3

Hossa won't stay. he is too good of a player to stay in just one place. If he wins the Cup, he'll look like mark Recchi two years ago when he played for the Pens, was traded to the hurricanes, won the Cup, and came back to the Pens. Malkin and Fleury will stay. We'll meet their demands because they have done well this whole season. I'm not too sure what's going to go down with Conklin.

Answer 4

I think Hossa is going to go i dont think they can afford him. They will keep Malkin and Fleury. As for Conklin I think Pens want him as a back up but Ottawa may pick him up or even claim him before next years trade deadline.

Answer 5

Hossa = gone for sure; I think everyone else major will wind up sticking around.

Answer 6

if malkin doesn't step up his game and play like he used to at the beginning of the playoffs, i think he will be traded. Fluery will stay and hossa and roberts might go since i think they might playing on a young team so they might teach the youngsters how to play in a playoff game.

Answer 7

They are going to trade malkin for kovucek. And resign hossa, fleury, malone, and laraque.

Answer 8

The only one's that I think will be gone next season is Gary Roberts :(

Answer 9

Say goodbye to Gary "Cheap Shot" Roberts, among possibly Malkin..."I'm Tired"

Hossa to the Wings where he'll learn how to play REAL HOCKEY! Like he should have been before the trade deadline.

Answer 10

Malkin- RFA in 09-10- Will get a Crosby type extension. No way they are going to let him test the market.

Hossa- Will probably leave, assuming they don't win the Cup.  It's all about the bank with him.

Fleury- Don't be surprised of he gets a "DiPietro" type deal. Lock him up.

Malone, Laraque, Ruutu, Dupuis, Orpik- can probably sign for just a small increase over what these guys are currently being paid.

Roberts- gone

Conklin- should be interesting. Played great when needed, but I don't think he will be satisfied as a backup after this season.  I think he goes.
