Stumpel to be Signed Soon?

According to the article Kraft and possibly Morozov will be shown the door and they are to be replaced with Crosby and Stumpel. Morozov wants to come back, but do the Pens really have the room for him?

Stumpel is supposed to be an alternative to Malkin. The source I have say that the Pens could get Malkin over here for $2M ransom. I think it is worth it. He is supposed to have sick skills. The problem would then be - where do we put all these guys? There are only so many roster spots on a team.



Also, I keep hearing bad things about Leclair's back. A source told me that he has second-hand information that says Leclair told him his back was too bad to be playing professionally. I don't know how long ago he heard this, but Leclair had surgery in May and apparently he passed a physical exam. Mario has a bad back too. I'm sure he can tell Leclair how to rest it and all that stuff. I think he is going to score 30 goals this year as a third line player.

Tarnstrom and Orpik are yet to be signed. Hopefully that happens soon so we can see where we are cap-wise and add more people.
