CHANGES

IN – Patric Hornqvist, Nick Spaling, Steve Downie, Blake Comeau, Christian Ehrhoff, Thomas Greiss

OUT- James Neal, Jussi Jokinen, Brian Gibbons, Tanner Glass, Matt Niskanen, Brooks Orpik, Deryk Engelland, Lee Stempniak, Taylor Pyatt, Tomas Vokoun

While the finishing ability of Neal will be missed up front, perhaps the biggest loss will be Niskanen on the point. He fit in well on the Pens blue line and used a career season to get a huge contract from the Caps.
