Tribune-Review Penguins beat reporter Rob Rossi offers his view of the 10 best prospects available at the NHL entry draft.

Ownership leaned on general manager Ray Shero to get Hossa and may now be doing the same by way of wanting to keep him. That's not a bad thing. Mario Lemieux knows how to win, and Penguins fans should be overjoyed anytime Ron Burkle's desire for championships manifests itself.

By Jay Huerbin The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the go-to newspaper for everything Penguins, has reported today that resigning winger Marian Hossa has become their top priority this off-season. There are 12 players on the Penguins set for free agency on July 1.

• The notion that Marian Hossa (or his agent) would reject an enormous, multi-year contract as an unrestricted free agent to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins for less money is mind-boggling, even if he proclaims his love for the franchise and the fun he had playing with Sidney Crosby....

By Eric Kuzmiak The Pittsburgh Penguins made one final visit to the Mellon Arena on Friday afternoon. It was a day which included locker cleaning and sparatic interviews with the press.

The loss...

Well I think that the Penguins did a very great job this season. Without Crosby for like one month and a half, the pens realy keep working hard. They proved that they can do a great job without a very good player. Malkin did a very great job to help the team to stay in competition for the playoffs. Sta...

After all of this, the Penguins were ready for the playoffs in April. What a run it was. The Pens dominated the Eastern Conference. After blowing by Ottawa, breezing by New York, and rolling through Philadelphia, the Pens, and the entire city of Pittsburgh, were ready for The Stanley Cup.

Adam Hall is a player that may not be back in Pittsburgh next season, but last night played one of the biggest parts in the game. When Detroit's defense figured out Crosby, and Malkin was as cold as ever, it was Adam Hall who scored a goal to break the tie game. Can Pittsburgh afford to lose a playe...

Although the Pittsburgh Penguins' Game 3 win over the Detroit Red Wings abruptly thrust the Stanley Cup finals into uncertainty, there was one guarantee after the Pens ended the Wings' rally in the third period: The pendulum would swing completely the other way for the puck punditry.

Sidney Crosby and the Penguins" is something the media very much enjoys repeating. To the point where seeing "Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins" is practically jarring. But while the two are tied in points, is there any doubt that Malkin is the Penguins' MVP right now? There's been talk during...

By Tony Ferrante It wasn’t like the Penguins didn’t have any chances on Lundqvist however.  Breakaway by Ryan Malone was stopped.  Breakaway by Evgeni Malkin was stopped.  Penalty shot by Malkin was stopped.

Once he finally arrived in Pittsburgh, it was evident very quickly what the Penguins had: A young scorer who not only complemented league MVP Sidney Crosby but often made him better. Malkin had 33 goals and 52 assists for 85 points, one of the best seasons for a first-year player in NHL histo...
