The Pens have said that with the new CBA, they will now be "buyers" on the free agent market, and will no longer be selling off players such as Jagr, Kovalev, Straka, etc.
It will be very interesting to see if Kovy and some skilled vets sign with Pittsburgh. If they add a couple forwards such as Kovalev, and just develop some defensive skill / sign a couple quality defensemen, that team could instantly jump into a potential cup contender. At the very least, if Eddie O can coach the team reasonably well, they should be able to return to the post-season.
I still think that Mario can become the oldest Art Ross winner. He should have had it a couple years ago before he was injured / lost Kovalev.
