Brooks Orpik - Opening the Door?

Jun 27, 2008 NHL

Local boy Brooks Orpik turned down the latest contract offer from the Penguins, which might open the door for his unrestricted free agency.

“We did receive an offer, which we turned down,” (agent Lewis) Gross told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday. “But we’re still talking, and we’ll see where it goes.”

The 27-year-old Orpik had one goal, 10 assists and a team-high 239 hits in 78 games this season.

The 18th overall selection in the 2000 draft, Orpik has four tallies, 32 assists and 392 penalty minutes in 297 career games - all with the Penguins.

They are still negotiating, but Sabres fans are hoping this means he wants to come here (with the hometown discount, of course).
