But losing Cristensen and Armstrong could hurt, they are both energy players and Cristensen could produce decent numbers in a few years, and Armstrong is a gritty player and a good leader. Guys like that are great support for Crosby and Malkin. I would be surprised to see Hossa with the Pens next year, plus he is a horrible playoff performer.Roryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474004770051343748noreply@blogger.com
