Penguins Re-sign Guerin, Adams


Time to move in the family from Long Island.

Tonight, the Pittsburgh Peguins re-signed one of the key contributors
to their recent run to the Stanley Cup when RW Bill Guerin inked a
one-year deal worth a reported 2.8 million dollars.

Incentives supposedly can push the deal above 3 million.

It's great to have Billy G back to patrol Sidney Crosby's right wing
for one more year. And, in my opinion, a one-year deal was the right
move for the Penguins, too. Two years would have been too much.

The Penguins also re-signed 4th liner Craig Adams to a two-year, 1.1
million dollar deal earlier today. Adams actually took less money than
last season in exchange for being able to get an extra year in the
contract.

At this point, GM Ray Shero's focus can now turn pretty much
exclusively to LW Ruslan Fedotenko during the last day remaining before
July 1.

We'll see whether anything breaks on that front in the next 24 hours or
so.
