The Pens have reportedly signed Miroslav Satan (1 year $3.5 million) and Ruslan Fedotenko (1 year $2.25 million) to contracts.
Satan is a skilled winger who's 33 years old but seen his points drop each of the past three seasons since the lockout. To his defense, he was with the mostly hapless New York Islanders the whole time. Satan's scored 29 goals in seven seasons, he knows how to put it in the net. He's likely your Sidney Crosby winger.
Fedotenko is more in the mold of a Ryan Malone. He had that great playoff run with Tampa Bay (scoring 12 goals in 22 games on the way to a Cup) and is pretty consistent as a 15-20 goals and 15-20 assists guy.
This likely means no Jaromir Jagr or Markus Naslund signing, but you never know.
By our calculations Pittsburgh has now spent $50.6 million on 20 players (10 forwards, 8 defensemen, 2 goalies). There is some room for another forward, but now we start to wonder if a defenseman coughSydorcough might be traded, if possible.

If you wanna see how many points a Finnish League Scoring Title translates into, look at some of the people who have won that title and played in the NHL
It is not a physical league...both Kariya brothers not named Paul won the title and neither could find full time work in the NHL for very long...most because of their size. Pesonen is bigger than both of those guys and may have shot of standing up to the physical play in the NHL.
