Pens Extensions - Staal and Kunitz

[mcrow]

The Pens will extend Jordan Staal, $5.0m (2013-2016) to a 3-year $1.5m AAV through 2018. 

J. Staal finished as the 141-ranked Center ($0.7m) after an injury-plagued 2014-15 season and is currently ranked 159 this season due to general sucking at the start of the year.  We could go with a lower dollar amount, but we would rather lock him in for the 3rd year.

The Pens will also extend Chris Kunitz, $5.5m (2012-2016) to a 3-year $4.8 AAV through 2018.

Kunitz finished as the 23-ranked LW ($4.8m) in 2014-15 and is currently ranked 38 this season.

Total cap savings of $4.2m!  Thanks!
