Top 22 Right Wingers
1. Marian Gaborik 27 MIN $7,500,000
2. Marian Hossa 30 DET $7,450,000
3. Martin Havlat 28 CHI $6,000,000
* Pittsburgh would have to get very creative and clear salary. Pittsburgh continues to get mentioned as a possibility because of a close working relationship between Ray Shero and Allan Walsh and Havlat's interest in playing for a contender, if things don't work out with the Blackhawks. -Major Longshot.
4. Alexei Kovalev 36 MON $4,500,000
* Seeking $4.5 million per season and is currently out of the Penguins price range. Penguins are indeed interested but Kovalev is not as interested in Pittsburgh like he use to be - Major Longshot
5. Brian Gionta 30 NJ $4,000,000
* Seeking a 3-to-4 year deal, which team sources believe will put him out of reach for the Penguins. Currently not on the Penguins radar but the team will likely make an inquiry.
6. Maxim Afinogenov 29 BUF $3,500,000
