CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Ron Hextall was honest when he was asked following Day 2 of the Penguins' training camp at the Lemieux Complex if he had a plan to get the Penguins under the $82.5 million salary cap ceiling before the start of the regular season.

He just doesn't know yet. The front office has certainly thought about their possible avenues, but they haven't worked out which avenue they'll take yet.

"Plans, not necessarily," Hextall said. "Obviously there's some mechanics that we'll have to do to get under. We have good depth. We'll see how the preseason games go.
