I know the Pens have not included Marios salary yet but I was just wondering
after the qualifying offers to there own people what the Pens have left. I
know the may have to pay Malkin 2 mil or so.

And what the going price would be for Kariya and Selanne.

The Penguins will have plenty of available cap space, since they are not
planning on getting near the 39 mio. $ limit. They are going for a
payroll of about 32 mio.

So far they have these players under contract accordin to tsa.ca:
