Asham not among Penguins early priorities

Keep in mind that it's very early in the process but the Penguins priorities on the free agent front are coming to the forefront this week.

While the Penguins have reached out to the agents of 4 pending free agents, one a restricted free agent in Tyler Kennedy, and are engaged in contract talks with role players Craig Adams and Mike Rupp this week, the team has yet to reach out to Arron Asham's camp.

Sources in Asham's camp say the two sides {Penguins} have not had any discussions and it's the Penguins move to initiate talks.
