Penguins news

First off, Ryan Malone, Andy Hilbert and Brooks Orpik will play for Team USA in the World Championships. This is great for the development of these guys. I'd imagine that depending on how the Baby Pens do in the playoffs, you might see Ryan Whitney added to this team.

Dave Molinari has a Q&A in the Post-Gazette today. It's not a bad read, but one person asks him who is working on getting Malkin over here since there is no GM currently, and Dave pretty much ignores the question and describes how the situation is more favorable to Malkin coming over, due to a new president of the Russian Hockey Federation. Useful information for sure, but not really an answer to the question...
