SIDNEY'S "Birthday Wish" (No Contract Offer Just Brief Discussions)

TIOPS has learned from a "high ranking Penguins official" that Pittsburgh and Brendan Shanahan have only had brief discussions and they have not made him an offer at this point. Shanahan prefers to stay with New York but is interested in playing for Pittsburgh if he and the Rangers fail to agree on a deal. Ray Shero is patiently waiting to see how this will play out before he decides whether or not to actively pursue Shanahan.

TIOPS previously posted that Shanahan told Shero he would be willing to sign for $1.5 - $1.8 million.
