PHN Q&A! Over the Cap, 9 D-Men, and UFAs — Submit Your Questions

The summer seems to have flown past. The rainy and miserable April and May were followed by nonstop hockey work in June and July. Pittsburgh Hockey Now has siblings, SteelersNow.com and PittsburghBaseballNow.com. The Pittsburgh Penguins splashed the cash on their star players in exchange for extra years on contracts, GM Ron Hextall went big on the NHL trade market, and we do not think he’s done.

PHN reported that Brian Boyle isn’t done playing and perhaps expects/hopes to be back with the Penguins. Josh Archibald was signed, Johan Larsson was not. The Penguins are over the salary cap with nine NHL defensemen, yet their bottom-six forwards crew doesn’t feel settled.

So, fire away in for the weekly PHN Q&A segment to appear on Thursday.

Put your question in the comments, tweet them to me @thedankingerski, or email contact@nationalhockeynow.com.

Also, if we don’t do it on Twitter beforehand, we’ll do it in the mailbag — more exciting news coming! You’ll be seeing a lot of the Sports Now folks, and that’s all I got to say about that … for now.
