Pittsburgh Penguins & ex-Penguins 2009 player stats

Going over the final player stats from the 2009 Penguins and the Penguins that have been traded over the last 2 years, a few things stick out.  Probably the biggest for me is Mark Recchi and Marian Hossa.  Marian Hossa was offered a huge contract by Ray Shero which he turned down and Mark Recchi was put on waivers, they finished only 10 points apart in the total season scoring race.  I guess 10 points separate big contracts and being sent down to the minors.

Erik Christenen finished with the exact same amount of points as the guy he was traded for, Pascal Dupuis.  While I’m disapointed in Dupuis’ numbers I would still take him in a heartbeat over Christensen.  Matt Cooke had 10 more points than the guy he supposedly replaced, Ruutu.  He may not be as good of an agitator, but he scores more.

Ruslan Fedetenko scored more points than Miroslav Satan in the same amount of games.  Georges Laraque only played 33 for the Habs while Adam Hall played 74 for Tampa.  While Ryan Malone’s season wasn’t horrible, there is no way it was what the Tampa owners where hoping for when they signed him.
Colby Armstrong scored more goals without Crosby.  Staal, the third leading Penguin scorer who has played all season with the Pens, had less than half the points of the top two scorers.  Where’s the depth?
The list is below:
Black – Played on the Penguins all season.
Blue – Current Penguins who joined the team mid season.
Red – Players traded, waived or lost to free agency last year.
Green – Players traded or waived this season.
