The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch believes the popular line that Dan Bylsma will get the axe in Pittsburgh as the Penguins try to find a new direction after losing in the Eastern Conference Final, but with the Penguins facing some nasty cap-related decisions and the almost-sure losses of at least two of their their trade deadline acquisitions in Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow and Douglas Murray, and needing to determine whether their $7.8 million in Capgeek-estimated cap space is worth spending on re-signing the aforementioned players and/or UFA's-to-be Pascal Dupuis, Craig Adams or Pascal Dupuis...

Garrioch thinks that the Penguins will do more than flip Marc-Andre Fleury and his $5 million cap hit out of Pittsburgh:

[Peguins GM Ray] Shero will have to shift his roster even if Bylsma stays. A league executive told QMI Agency he expects the Penguins to either move Kunitz or Neal with the cap going down to make room to keep Malkin, who is only one year from being an unrestricted free agent.

Wingers Pascal Dupuis and Matt Cooke are both unrestricted free agents July 5. Shero will have tough decisions to make because he can’t keep everybody. Crosby and Malkin eat up a lot of cap space, which limits what the club can do.
