Penguins angling to re-sign Casey DeSmith
Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin have rightfully taken the spotlight when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins and their impending free agents. Two franchise stalwarts are seemingly at an impasse in contract negotiations as we inch closer to the start of unrestricted free agency.
