Pens Sign Fedotenko


Some how, some way. Shero pulled a coconut out of his rear end. Feds was receiving offers of 2-3 years over 2 million per, and yet Shero got him to sign a 1 year deal worth 1.8 million. I dont know how the hell he did it but this man is a magician. Feds had an off and on regular season but he came to play in the playoffs. Which is why many teams coveted him. This signing puts the pens cap space at around a little under 3 million left. They still need to fill a defensive spot and a back up goalie. Now if shero believe Lovejoy and Curry can fill those roles then we have enough room to make another splash in free agency.

There are still a few rumors out there that the pens are still shopping Dupuis and Godard. If Shero is able to pull of a trade we would lose almost 2.2 million in salary giving us aound 5 million to work with now during the rest of FA or wait untill the trade deadline to make another move.

The Pens also signed local boy Nate Guenin. Nate is 6'2'' 210 Defensive Defenseman, from the sewicley area. He played in the flyers sytem the last couple years appearing in 12 total games, while recording 2 assists and a +2 rating. He only played in 1 game for the flyers last season.

Tom Fitzgerald will also be moving up back into the front office. After Shero fired therrian last year Fitzgerald was brought down to help be an assistant coach. Now with Chuck Fletcher leaving to be the Wilds new GM, Fitzgerald has claimed his old spot as Assistant to the General Manager.
