Major changes expected in Pittsburgh
With the Pittsburgh Penguins being eliminated after a heart breaking game 7 overtime loss to the New York Rangers one has to wonder, is this the end of an era in Pittsburgh?
Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang have been fixtures in a pens jersey for over a decade, but as their season draws to a close, one has to wonder if this will be their last in the Steel City. Both players are unrestricted free agents this summer, along with another key forward in Bryan Rust.
Although, it's not a forgone conclusion, Pittsburgh does have some very important decisions to make that could quite literally alter the faces of the franchise.
