As a side note, I don't think Sneep is as bad as most people on here do.
He's a third year pro who was playing in Wheeling during the lockout. I know our defensive depth there was absurd, but you'd think a third year pro foromer 2nd round pick would be good enough to at least be a spare defender in WBS instead of Wheeling.
He was a boom/bust pick who was supposed to be a PMD...but the offensive side of his game never came around and he's always been questionable defensively. He's obviously not in the organization's plans and he'd have been allowed to walk after this year. This deal was done to a.) open up a roster spot and b.) a professional courtesy to give him a better chance to play at a higher level. I doubt we end up getting that 7th rounder for him, but at least he'll be playing in the AHL instead of the ECHL. We're also right up against the contract limit, so this will help at the deadline.
He was a Penguins 2nd round bust...nothing new there.
Ferriero was a disaster in WBS and obviously isn't suited for this system. Kolarik should be an upgrade in WBS for someone who wasn't too likely to play in Pittsburgh anyway. Sucks it didn't work out, I love guys with endless motors that wear weird numbers.
