Makes sense.

I wonder what Detroit will get

 

[howkie]

Wonder what player who needs to leave next year, cuz of all those good contracts Holland signed, yeah I know SHeahan is not that good..

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I wish him luck. I think he is a good fit for Pittsburgh.

I like Riley, he has had a difficult couple years. I hope he can bounce back in Pittsburgh.

I think Detroit needed to move on.

I'm kind of meh on him at this point (was higher on him in the summer, prior to McKegg looking solid as a placeholder), but I guess I'll wait and see.

Makes sense. If Pittsburgh can turn things around for him it will look brilliant, although I did think the Pens would aim a bit higher.

I agree, but this will be low risk with a likely reward type of deal.

It's Sheahan for Wilson, with an exchange of picks. I imagine the pick swap won't be significant, though.

Wilson is a good player, but he was stuck in a numbers game in Pittsburgh and Sullivan seemed to have a weird love for Kuhnhackl. I wish him the best.

Edit: Wilson and a 3rd for Sheahan and a 5th. Like I said, the picks really weren't significant. Now to see if Detroit retained any salary.

here's my answer on the Puempel trade

3rd rounder going to Detroit

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

I don't like that trade at all. Should've been Kuhnhackl instead of Wilson.

 

[Sideline]

I don't like this for the Penguins.

 

[Go Wings]

I like it for Detroit a better pick and Sheahan gone.

 

[K Fleur]

Huge overpayment by JR

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I am surprised Detroit got the higher pick, the Pens seemed to be in control here I would think they could demand the higher pick sense Detroit NEEDED to make a deal

 

[K Fleur]

I'm not even certain Sheahan is a better player than Wilson at this point

 

[hagelin1381]

Makes sense I guess. We have a ton of wingers and Sprong is still probably going to come up some time soon. Maybe too much, but it doesn't hurt us that bad

 

[Rusty Razor]

Wilson was a number game due to the pens wingers, but no need to give up the higher pick when the wings had to move Sheahan at any cost to get AA back.

 

[Ezekial]

I think it's a solid trade from both sides, I really think Sheahan could do pretty well over there. He could also suck balls, but I think he could do good.

Edit: Holy shit I thought it was Sheahan and a 3rd and Wilson and a 5th. Hell yea nice trade Kenny! AA time.

Sheahan is the all-time leader in goals scored by a Teletubby.

Pitt finally gets their 3rd line center

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Wilson was a number game due to the pens wingers, but no need to give up the higher pick when the wings had to move Sheahan at any cost to get AA back.

They could have waived Witkowski and Booth...

I just think it was time to move on and I think Pittsburgh fans will like Sheahan. Hopefully he makes the best of his new opportunity.
