Sportsnet.ca -- The Pittsburgh Penguins have added another star to help rebuild the franchise.
Sportsnet has learned the Penguins have agreed to a three-year, $13.5-million contract with free agent forward Zigmund Palffy.
Pittsburgh has added some serious firepower to its squad since the lockout came to an end.
They won the draft lottery -- and more importantly the rights to Sidney Crosby -- in July, and this week they have also added Palffy and all-star defenceman Sergei Gonchar to their lineup.
Former Tampa Bay bruiser Andre Roy also headed to Steeltown this week to add some protection for Mario Lemieux and Crosby.
Palffy has averaged more than a point per game throught a career that began with the New York Islanders who dealt him to Los Angeles after six seasons. The former King has recorded 318 goals and 671 points in 642 career games.
Over 1 point per game career average.. in minimal games last year (due to injuury, kept the same pace). He's a speedster and he's very offensive and he gives us just what we need in another great forward. 40+ goal scorer, gotta love it
