Penguins update Welcome to the first edition of our new weekly column South Pole.
This week we will take a look at the Penguin's newest additions, both on the roster and off of it. The most significant of all the new add ons for the Pens this season, will no doubt be aspiring new head coach, Ivan Hlinka. Hlinka joined the Penguins midway through the Pen's 1999-2000 season, and immediately left his mark on the black and gold. Not long after Ivan arrived, Dennis the menace Bonvie was brought back from his extended stay in the minor leagues. Bob Boughner, who was a contributing force for the Pens in the playoffs last year, was acquired from Nashville for prospect Pavel Skrbek - one of too many young Penguin defencemen caught in the midst of a rebuilding farm system.
