From Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
The Penguins have agreed to a two-year contract with free-agent forward Matt Cooke.
The deal is worth $1.2 million per season.
Cooke, who will be 30 on Sept. 7, is 5 foot 11, 205 pounds and is an accomplished agitator and penalty-killer.

Good signing by the Penguins. As the article states, Cooke is a very suitable replacement for the recently departed Jarkko Ruutu. While he may not be quite as annoying as the man he is replacing, he is certainly close.
Last one before they play one more game ahead of the Christmas break.
