Sykora and other stuff.

We don’t break news, but good for Petr.

$1.6m for 1-year.

The Penguins had $1.8m in cap space. It just wasn’t in the cards.

Forwards:
Aaron Boogaard
Nicholas Petersen
Casey Pierro-Zabotel
Kevin Veilleux

Defense:
Lane Caffaro
Alex Grant
Brian Strait

Goal:
Jordan Parise
No real surprises.

• Boogaard is a much smaller version of his brother,
  even at 6’3 220. He played in Wilkes-Barre last year.
  
• Who is Nicholas Petersen?
  
• Veilleux is still pretty raw. He’s big, plays all 3 forward positions, and he’s got a scoring touch…let him develop.
  
• CPZ is an over-age player who excelled in a weak league with good teammates(Evander Kane). He’s overrated, but he’ll crack the NHL someday.
  
• Despite hearing good things about Alex Grant…not this year.
  He apparently has an NHL-caliber shot, but not much else.
  
• Strait looks promising too. Someday.
  
• Who is Lane Caffaro?
  
• Did you know Jordan Parise has a brother? Even if he’s good, it’s too soon for more brother talk.

Don't click read more...there isn't any.
