Winger for Hire

I ran across this blurb today on my coffee break at work talking about how Shero and his staff are going to start looking at extending some players:

I'm hoping this is just Shero looking to do the right thing and find out what exactly Brooks and Nisky are looking to get on their next contracts and not actually seriously negotiating extensions with both.
Even at a steep discount I think Brooks wouldn't be worth bringing back because of the roster spot he would be taking up and his steady/steep decline in play. Nisky I'd be OK with bringing back, but his play could be pricing him out of Pittsburgh.
So what I'm really getting at here is do you think Shero is serious in these negotiations or is it just a PR move to keep their trade values from dropping and/or a courtesy to the players?
