from the National Post,
Jason Botterill didn’t want to make a commitment to Marian Hossa just yet. In fact, during an interview last week, whenever the Pittsburgh Penguins director of hockey operations was asked about Hossa’s future with the team, he changed the subject.
“I just think it’s exciting that in the playoffs, we’ll get to watch a team with as much skill and speed as this one has,” Botterill said after being asked a second time about re-signing Hossa.
Botterill, a 32-year-old former Winnipeger who was part of the three world junior championship teams, had his playing career cut short by post-concussion syndrome. But the MBA he picked up at Michigan, where he also won an NCAA championship, helped him become the man in charge of the Penguins’ salary cap.
