ESPN says he will go back to Pittsburgh.

He is Technically returning since he will only play in 2/3 of the Penguins games if that...still good for the game though.

Good news indeed. He woulda been the scoring leader had it not been for injuries. Where did he finish 5th overall or something like that? He's still a dominant player. Too bad he doesn't have a team around him. But its a good learning experience for all the youngsters .

I was hoping that he would sell his portion of the team and head off to Montreal!!! haha

he's still ythe best player in the game. i mean he plays with no name players in pittsburg and still dominates. i am glad that heis staying in the game even if he only played half the games, or less!!!

Yea i adree with akanabar even if he only plays half or less of the games it will still be great for the game of hockey!

That is good news, but why do the players always flip flop about retiring and then not retiring?

Well when he retires next time he will mean it. I hate when players do that though too.

Good news? OH MY... don't even get me started... a team that's financially on the ropes that's gonna pay 1 guy 6 million to play 1/2 the games? VERY NOT COOL!

Well he ownes the team so he is gonna get that money no matter what anyways. And I know its not a big difference but I think he gets 5mil not 6mil.

it just isnt the same watching the pens, its tough to see all the talent they had a few years ago be dismantled and rebuild

5.75 million base salary with like 3 million in insentives... whatever the fact is he's the owner and shouldn't suck 1 penny out of a team that is financially unstable. You're not a very good businessman if you take 5.75 million out of struggling company you own... sort of sounds like what the Adelphia family was doing?
