Hot scoring
The Penguins needed to find a scoring winger to stick with Sidney Crosby this offseason. They tried to hang on to Marian Hossa, but he bolted for Detroit.
So they brought in Miroslav Satan. And as Shelly Anderson writes, he's expected to be a goal-scorer. He's been consistent in finding the net since he broke into the league with Edmonton in the 1995-96 season. He has hit the 20-goal mark 10 out of his 12 seasons.
Since Satan's rookie year, only 11 other players have scored more goals than him:
| Player | Goals since 1995-96 |
| 1. Jaromir Jagr | 489 |
| 2. Teemu Selanne | 429 |
| 3. Brendan Shanahan | 406 |
| 3. Keith Tkachuk | 406 |
| 5. Mats Sundin | 397 |
| 6. Joe Sakic | 389 |
| 7. Jarome Iginla | 374 |
| 8. Peter Bondra | 368 |
| 9. Markus Naslund | 365 |
| 10. Paul Kariya | 364 |
| 11. Mike Modano | 343 |
| 12. Miroslav Satan | 337 |
| 13. Bill Guerin | 336 |
| 14. John LeClair | 332 |
| 15. Daniel Alfredsson | 331 |
