Win or lose, I don't see the Pens signing him again. Based on the assumption he is moving on he'll be looking for the following.
1) Contender (no point going to a rebuild at this point)
2) Eastern conference (less travel)
3) Has to have cap room (his salary will be going down, but will be multiple millions).
So I'll say Senators (22 million in space) or Rangers (13.5).
Whoever signs him will likely be able to move him again at the deadline should they need to, so it's relatively low risk assuming it's a 1 or 2 year deal.
