Pens sign the "Test Tube" to a 2 year extension.

Another bit of information that slipped through my fingers was the increase to Letestu's contract extending him an extra 2 years on the team. That should be plenty of time to develop the Test Tube into something deadly for sure, especially at the $625,000.00 price tag we got him for. This does pose a question as to what will happen to Maxim Talbot as we would then have 5 centers, and Talbot's salary is near around $1,050,000.00. This poses an interesting set up for the trade deadline in 41 days.



Shero signing Letestu, someone who is easy to move up and down lines and adapts in his positions without question, could be setting up some kind of trade for Talbot to another team. Personally I love Mighty Max, he scored the game winning goal in the Stanley cup finals in 09, he scored the Overtime goal in 08 to end the triple OT slugfest against Detroit to force game 6, the guy rocks a Fu Man Chu, I mean come on we need him! But production wise, Talbot hasn't always been the best option, and with cap space a question, at his 1mil salary, and Testi coming in at half of that, you have to admit, it poses the question. Who stays, and who goes?

Look at that high school photo esque pic right there!

Hopefully we can find ways to keep the pieces together, but this singing of Letestu is definitely more of Shero's magic.
