The Pittsburgh Penguins started to look after some of their own house cleaning on Tuesday, re-signing veteran forward Pascal Dupuis to a new 2-year deal, reportedly worth $3 million, a $1.5 million cap hit.The 32-year old Dupuis brought a definite veteran presence to the Penguins over the past few seasons and is quite versatile through the line-up. On an injury-plagued Pittsburgh team, Dupuis finished the season with 37 points (17 goals and 20 assists) in 81 games, which has a definite chance of going back up, figuring that the health of the two superstars should be closer to 100% at the beginning of the regular season.
| Forwards | Defense | Goalies |
| Sidney Crosby | Kris Letang | Marc-Andre Fleury |
| Chris Kunitz | Paul Martin | Brent Johnson |
| James Neal | Zbynek Michalek | |
| Pascal Dupuis | Ben Lovejoy | |
| Evgeni Malkin | Brooks Orpik | |
| Matt Cooke | Deryk Engelland | |
| Jordan Staal | Matt Niskanen | |
| Mark Letestu | ||
| Craig Adams |
The Penguins have a lot of players already locked up and they should now be looking for a bit more depth up front, with all of their potential defense and goalies signed on. Currently, I have the Penguins in at $57 million, leaving about $7.3 million to spend on four or five forwards.
