he had one year left but now he's signed a three year deal that includes a raise for this season, and goes through the 2010-11 season - that's the first year the team is slated to play in the new $290 million arena.

Glad to see the team's planning on keeping him around. You can definitely see that the team has a core group they want to build around, locking up Crosby, Malkin, Fluery, now the coach... hopefully the plan can ultimately pay off in another Stanley Cup coming home to the Steel City.

They did get beat handily by Detroit though WITH Hossa who was pretty huge in the playoffs. Look for teams like the Rangers and of course with no bias at all, the habs to challenge these pens.
