CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins' 23-man regular-season roster has been submitted to the NHL office.
It's safe to assume that it was written in pencil.
That's because it is almost certain to change before their regular-season opener Tuesday at 7:38 p.m. in Tampa.
Brian Boyle, you see, still has not officially signed a contract. When he does, someone will have to be removed from the roster to open a spot for him.
Moving Evgeni Malkin from the roster to injured-reserve or the Long Term Injured list would appear to be the move there.
