Tony Granato, Todd Reirden, Gilles Meloche (goaltending coach), and Mike Kadar (strength and conditioning coach) as well as WB/S head coach John Hynes and assistant coach, Alain Nasreddine, all signed multi-year contracts with Pittsburgh.

“We’re excited to have this entire group together and under contract as we move forward and prepare for the 2011-12 season,” Shero said. “We think we have an outstanding coaching staff, both here in Pittsburgh and in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and this gives them and us a strong sense of stability.”

The Penguins already extended head coach Dan Bylsma's contract earlier this year.
