Brendan just finished reviewing the offers with his agent and family.

He is now 39 years old and is looking to end his career with the Cup in his hands. The clock is running out to accomplish this and being part of a rebuilding franchise will not allow him to achieve this goal.

Brendan accepts the Penguin's offer. The Penguin's have kept their Stanley Cup finals team virtually intact over the off-season he hopes his playoff experience will help them finish what they started.
