On the flip side, looking at Pittsburgh's financial situation... They have the exact same team essentially signed for this upcoming season. Cullen, Lovejoy and Bennett are the only pieces needing a new deal. None of which are likely to get a raise. They have the cap to re-sign them no problem (assuming Dupuis goes on LTIR - which is a guarantee). Keeping him for another run isn't out of the question here. Especially if they can only get a 3rd for him.

That seems optimistic to me. I too am of the opinion that it is/will be a buyers market for goalies this year. But no way the Pens give him up for a 3rd - better to just keep him and see how the season plays out.
