Well, it certainly has taken long enough, hasn't it?
The Penguins' brief foray into the Stanley Cup playoffs ended about a month and a half ago, and the team has made very little news since then.
That's about to change. Their protected list for the July 21 expansion draft has to be submitted to the NHL office by 5 p.m. Saturday -- each team's list is scheduled to be made public the following day -- and the NHL draft will be held July 23 and 24. Free agency will follow in short order, so the Penguins figure to be generating their share of headlines in coming weeks.
Finally.
Anyway, this is the place to discuss either of the drafts, free agency, potential personnel moves and anything else pertaining to the Penguins. Post you questions and observations in the Comments section, and I will respond over the course of the day.
