One item of note in Pittsburgh:

I agree with the move. A top six:
Fedetenko - Crosby - Satan
Staal - Malkin - Sykora
Looks alot better than
Dupuis - Crosby - Satan
Fedetenko - Malkin - Sykora
I actually would even prefer Staal play alongside Crosby, and Fedetenko taking Malones position.
And it is reasonable with Max Talbot able to play 3rd line minute, rather than Staal at 3rd line C.
