From PittsburghPenguins.com’s Michelle Crechiolo:
Ever heard that saying “The future’s so bright, I need shades?”
Well, Penguins fans may want to get their sunglasses ready following the news that the organization has signed Pittsburgh assistant coaches Tony Granato, Todd Reirden, Gilles Meloche and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach John Hynes and his assistant, Alain Nasreddine, all to multi-year contracts.
“Now we can grow as a group and learn from the good and bad from each year,” Hynes said. “We can continue to progress as a staff, and ultimately with both Wilkes-Barre and Pittsburgh, take it to a different level.”

Glad they kept granato… He really helped with the penalty kill this year. Would be nice to see them add someone to help out with the power play this summer. Even when the pens were healthy their pp sucked.

Hopefully they bring in a powerplay consultant because if we all have to watch another season of that powerplay, ugh…
