Off-Season Questions: With how things went vs Boston, Is there still mutual interest between the Penguins and Jarome Iginla?

AVALANCHE, RANGERS, CANUCKS TO CHASE IGINLA?

As soon as word leaked out that Malkin wouldn’t be playing and those who saw him that day knew how badly sunburned he looked, the Penguins I’m told

Latest Pens Rumblings: Can the Penguins really dupe Pascal Dupuis into another team friendly deal?

SUMMER SPECULATION The current roster the Penguins have won’t be anything close to the roster they have next season due to the salary cap going down. In fact, it won’t surprise some around the league if the Penguins have the type of turnover that the Chicago Blackhawks immediately had following their Stanley Cup title in 2010 where they were unable to keep that team in tact due to the salary cap.
