WHY I Wouldn't Make a Good GM!

BECAUSE I WOULD USE THE MONEY THAT WE SAVED ON HOSSA AND SIGN ORPIK TO THE TERMS HE IS ASKING FOR AND GIVE RUUTU HIS MEASELY LITTLE EXTRA YEAR - WE HAVE $50 MILLION EXTRA; WHY NOT?! Weren't those 2 players a part of our making it to the SCF and getting us 2 games away from taking it all; not mentioning that we already lost a good part of the UFA a part of this Cup-contending team waiting around on Hossa's diva ass!

[TAKE A DEEP BREATH; let it out]

And good ol' Rob Rossi reports that RS has something totally different in mind:

• We are told the Penguins have no intention of reacting to Hossa’s decision by throwing money at available free-agent forwards. General manager Ray Shero has been in contact with several players and will work toward signing a player that best fits with the team.
