Pens to Hear from Ruutu SOON

10:17 from the TIOPS:

• Penguins expect to hear from Jarkko Ruutu very soon. The Penguins are believed to be offering a two year deal worth close to 1.5 million per season. I've been told Ruutu has a few 3yr offers on the table. One offer believed to be from Carolina. Don Baizley the agent for Jarkko Ruutu has indicated his client will give the Penguins the opportunity to match any offer. It is likely that we will hear something from Ruutu by the end of the night.
