It's funny we're all ready to throw this guy out of town but our best lines at the end of the year were ones he was on (Dubinsky, him and Jagr and the brief line of him, Drury, and Callahan). And one more thing why does everyone think Malone is going to leave Pittsburgh? He grew up there, his father played for them, he just had his best year there, was just in the Stanley Cup, and gets to play with Crosby and/or Malkin. Put yourself in those shoes and ask why would I sign anywhere else?

its kind of hard for Sjostrom to prove that he can replace Straka when hes getting less than 10 minutes a night playing with Betts and Hollweg.
