The Pittsburgh Penguins added to their impressive stable of forwards Tuesday, obtaining All-Star Marian Hossa from the Atlanta Thrashers

Hossa, who was unable to come to terms on a new contract agreement with Atlanta, joins a potent offensive attack that already includes young superstars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who currently is tied for the league lead in scoring with 82 points.

"I'm really looking forward to joining this group," Hossa said. "You look at the centermen and you have Sid, Malkin and (Jordan) Staal. They are some really strong, great young players. They have good goaltending and good moving defensemen. They create lots of offense. I am really looking forward to playing with these guys."

Crosby + Hossa Power!

Unfortunately, I only see the Pens getting to the second round at best. They are chock full of talent and they're going to win the Cup in the next couple of years with this squad, but not this year. They've got to face NJ, a red hot Carolina, and spoilers like Philly, DC, and Ottawa. Plus no matter what, whoever comes out of the West this year is going to win it. WAAAAY too much talent in the West right now.
