Defenseman Brooks Orpik and forward Craig Adams each have taken a new role with the Penguins, and it centers on their ears and mouths. They are the new representatives for the NHL Players Association, replacing Max Talbot , now with Philadelphia.
"My role is to take what I hear -- whether it be at meetings or on calls or things like that -- and make sure that it's communicated to the rest of the team and make sure everybody understands what's going on and to be there to answer questions if I can and, if not, to, hopefully, be able to direct them to the right people," said Adams, who previously was a union rep with Carolina.
The Penguins, who played Dallas on Friday, met with NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and others from the union last week in San Jose before electing Orpik and Adams.
