		The 5-foot-10, 182-pound Palffy, 33, was targeted by the Penguins from the start of free agency because his style and scoring skill fit in perfectly with the up-tempo game Lemieux prefers to play.
		Palffy has seven seasons of 30 or more goals, though he was limited to 41 points in 35 games in 2003-04 with the Kings because of a shoulder injury.
		Palffy to the Penguins also signals how the league's new collective bargaining agreement and salary cap have quickly allowed small-market or lower-payroll teams to compete with the big names for talent.

		But after that, Ziggy might be the best I've ever seen." Palffy's pump fake on his slap shot is so good, he routinely hits unsuspecting teammates with passes on the backs of their skates.
		Palffy was so emphatic with his physical play when he first joined the Kings that some of his teammates thought it was funny.
		Palffy is also healthier and in better shape than he was last season -- something that has always been a concern for him.

	Palffy retires amid reports of injuries
		The Penguins announced Palffy's retirement yesterday, and made a point of saying that it was for "personal reasons." A Slovak newspaper, however, quoted Palffy as saying he had quit because of lingering problems with his right shoulder, which had been surgically repaired twice after he was injured while playing in Los Angeles.
		Neither Palffy nor his agent, Paul Kraus, could be reached for comment, but various Penguins officials said they had seen no evidence that he was having significant shoulder trouble.
		That means Palffy will give up nearly half of the $3.5 million he was being paid this season, as well as the $5.5 million he was due in 2006-07 and $4.5 million he would have gotten in the final year of his deal.

	USATODAY.com - Free-agent sniper Palffy joins stable of Penguins scorers
		PITTSBURGH — Ziggy Palffy left the Los Angeles Kings to become the second marquee free agent in a week to join the previously cash-strapped Pittsburgh Penguins, agreeing Saturday to a $13.5 million, three-year contract with the NHL's worst team in 2003-04.
		But Palffy couldn't turn down the chance to play for what long was the NHL's most-wide open offense in Pittsburgh — and, with the new rules designed to encourage scoring, one that plans to be so again.
		Palffy signing with the Penguins also signals how the league's new collective bargaining agreement and salary cap have quickly allowed small-market or lower-payroll teams to compete with the big names for talent.

	Hockey Trade Rumors - NHL Rumors from around the league - Ziggy Palffy out of retirement?
		Palffy was misused last year, especially when they tried to make him play defensively.
		Palffy retired mid-January, somewhere close to the 20th of the month, and that is when he would be allowed to return to the NHL after having filed retirement papers.
		That translates (for this year) to basically half his annual salary (or a little less), and ditto for his cap hit, since time not spent playing is not counted towards the cap, and not the yearly numbers people are using in their posts.

		As general manager Dave Taylor attempts to reconstruct the LA six in the face of the impending lockout, once again it's Palffy's status that will determine the health of this franchise if hockey is to be played in the fall.
		Palffy is a game breaker, one of the few legitimate ones in the NHL along with the likes of Jarome Iginla, Martin St. Louis, et al.
		The current deal the Kings have presented Palffy is $18 million over 3 years, as rich a deal as the market will bear given the looming changes in the market (our calls to Paul Kraus, Palffy's agent, were not returned).

		GOOD NEWS: The coaching situation is clarified with Larry Robinson out and Andy Murray in, an elite forward (Ziggy Palffy) has been added and the Kings are deeper on offense and defense than they have been in years.
		If Palffy doesn't live up to the hype, the buzz will be the Kings have repeated their history by stripping themselves of prospects in a bid for immediate gratification.
		Palffy's addition gives the team its most dynamic offensive player since the Wayne Gretzky era, and the Palffy-Luc Robitaille-Jozef Stumpel combination potentially is one of the most dangerous units in the NHL, at even strength and with the man advantage.

		I certainly would expect Palffy to be better than Selanne was for us, but...since he's really only a scorer, if he doesn't score he's not worth much.
		Yes, he's soft and all that (so's Palffy) but I think the player we're looking for is some type of sniper, and Vrbata was definitely that.
