Marty, Kovi back in Da 'Burgh?

According to an ESPN.com team-by-team status report the Pens maybe poised to "put the old band back together again". Because of their extremely low, current cap figure and potential cuts by other teams, Mario and the Pens could bring Pittsburgh favorites Martin Straka and Alexi Kovalev back to Mellon Arena.

I have to admit I'm torn on this issue. Half of me wants to see the boys back on the ice together the other half wants the Pens to move on and continue to rebuild with their "youth movement". I guess in the end, Mario will try to have his cake and it eat it to. It certainly won't hurt initial fan interest in Pittsburgh to see Mario, Kovi, Straka, and the Reckin' Ball on the ice together again. Plus, most of their core group of young talent have been locked up. for the forseeable future.

And since their looking to sign all these former players, let's see if we can't get "the Moose" back to Pittsburgh...

The Pens are one of four teams with highest percentage of chance to win the draft lottery along w/ the Rangers the Predators and Columbus I think.

If they land Sydney Crosby to go along w/ Evgeny Malkin and Marc-Andre Fluery they could have an awesome combination of top youth talent and vets (Mario, Recchi, Kovi, etc.)

Can't wait till it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh again.
