Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign

Let the free agent frenzy begin! Sort of. There are reports surfacing out of Russia that KHL clubs Metallurg Magnitogorsk and Bary's Astana are interested in signing Pittsburgh Penguins free agents Petr Sykora and Miroslav Satan. Any truth to the rumors? Not if you ask their agent, Allan Walsh, who denied the reports via his twitter feed (technology ... amazing).
Said Walsh of the Sykora rumor: I was informed of internet report Petr Sykora negotiating with Magnitogorsk (KHL) for last 4 wks. Totally false. There has been no contact.
And then later regarding Satan: Also, informed of report that Miro Satan received 2 year offer from Bary's Astana (KHL). Again, no truth. Who makes up this stuff?
It's doubtful -- at least in my opinion -- that either player will be returning to the Penguins for the 2009-10 season.
It's worth pointing out that Sykora played for Magnitogorsk during the NHL lockout (scoring 18 goals) and was a linemate with Evgeni Malkin, much like he was during his two-year stint in Pittsburgh. After scoring 28 goals a year ago for the Penguins, Sykora struggled over the final two months of this season, registering just seven points in 32 games. His struggles led to him being a healthy scratch for much of the postseason, only to return for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. He played just six minutes and suffered a broken foot after blocking a shot in the second period.
As for Satan, he joined the Penguins this past offseason on a one-year deal in an effort to help the Penguins replace Marian Hossa. He tallied 17 goals during the regular season and was sent to the American Hockey League late in the season, only to return for the playoffs and record six points in 17 games.
