Signing Fleury was a no brainer and two other productive guys in Fedentenko and Satan was very smart. The Penguins came so close this year and are trying to fill in the pieces missing in a champsionship team.
Fleury got a 7 year, 35 Million Dollar Deal which means he'll be locked up with Pittsburgh until he's 30!
Fleury, 23, was eligible for arbitration and a hearing was scheduled for later in the month, but the Penguins made no secret they considered that a formality as general manager Ray Shero continued to negotiate a long-term deal with the goaltender. Fleury said he gave clear instructions to his agent to seal a long-term deal with the Penguins.
"That's where I want to be," he told reporters on a conference call. "I love this city, the organization, the guys on the team."

Satan, 33, had 41 points in 80 games and was tied for third on the club in scoring. The native of Slovakia was originally drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in 1993 and has played in 12 seasons in the NHL. Satan's deal was worth $3.5 million.

Fedotenko, 29, scored 33 points (16 goals, 17 assists) in 67 games last season. In his career, he has 123 goals and 116 assists in 523 NHL games. Financial terms of his contract weren't announced, but a source told ESPN.com that it was worth $2.25 million.
