We knew it was coming as far as Roberts and Malone were concerned; but TAMPA BAY - who would've guessed?!! And with the trade being for a conditional draft choice, it would seem that Roberts could still be dealt to another team and Malone is still considering his options "testing UFA".The Penguins have traded the negotiating rights to forwards Ryan Malone and Gary Roberts to Tampa Bay for a conditional draft choice.
The draft choice is supposed to be a fourth-rounder unless Malone signs with the Lightning, in which case it becomes a third-rounder.
This could actually be good for Pittsburgh -- it frees up some money before July 1st; gives them more options / possibilities (and, of course, there are still those fans who are talking that signing Hossa is imminent - I still don't think it's a good idea, but freeing up more money is allowing the thought to grow on me! All I want is to sign as many of our UFA as we can - THAT'S ALL!!)
At least it's some Pens NEWS and the speculation ends for Malone!!
