Orpik Rejects Pens Offer

Dave Molinari at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting...

"Orpik, poised to enter unrestricted free agency Tuesday, rejected a contract proposal from the Penguins yesterday. While its details were not immediately known, Orpik is expected to command a salary of well over $3 million if he hits the open market."

...this is a good news, bad news scenario. Good because Orpik may be available July 1st, bad because its going to cost over $3 million to get him. Although the salary cap was just increased so his asking price won't be as painful of a hit on the Rangers cap space.
