The
Penguins are a team of big money players; even with the departure of 10-year
phenom Jaromir Jagr. The owner of the team, Mario Lemieux, also plays
center! For those of you who were living under a rock in Tibet last
season, Mario Lemieux came out of retirement to play forward. Lemieux is
surrounded by some great talent; Kevin Stevens, Martin Straka, and Rene Corbet.
However, the Pens could use some defense; they have solid Janne Laukkanen and
Darius Kasparaitis, but not much else. Their goaltending woes ended when
they acquired Johan Hedberg from San Jose in the Jeff Norton trade. Hmm, I
wonder who got the better end of that deal?
