Pens Drop Letang

As you may have noticed from the number of blog posts, teams have been sending down players and finalizing their rosters. The Penguins also made a move or two over the weekend and have now sent Kristopher Letang (Wes) down to Wilkes-Barrie Scranton for the time being. With a few other players on 2-way contracts, Letang isn't guaranteed to spend the whole season down with the Baby Pens, but any time spent in the minors is a hit to Wes' team, with already a few players out.

The 22 players listed for the Penguins will have a base salary of about $32 million, but once bonuses and such hit the number, they should be able to come above the salary cap minimum of $34 million. You have to believe that Crosby has a lot of bonuses left for him.
