As I am sure you have all heard, defenceman Alex Goligoski has re-upped with the Dallas Stars for four more years at an average cap hit of $4.6M. Considering the contracts Francois Beauchemin (3Y/10.5M) and Josh Gorges (6Y/23.4M), the Stars should be content with their investment. However, let’s take a look at just how [...]

Clearly the Pittsburgh Penguins are short on forwards. Not just depth forwards but hugely talented stars in the shape of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

Offensive Corps: The 2009-2010 season ended in disappointment after the team won the Stanley Cup the season before. If it wasn’t for captain Sidney Crosby and his sudden goal scoring touch the Penguins very well could have finished lower than their 4th seed and 2nd round playoff exit.
