Just looked at the Pens' salary cap, they sure do have a lot of big contracts (no surprises there). Makes me want the Flames to grab Niskanen from them, and give him more than double the money he is getting right now, around 5mish. How many years would you put on this guy? I would even offer him 6m because he is entering his prime. The Pens have a lot of UFA's, but I feel that Calgary can try and grab this guy. Only problem is I don't think he would be attracted to a place like this.

As long as we steal Orpik or Niskanen I'd be happy. M. Greene is another good option.
