Doug Wilson tells me 2nd rounder in 2013 & a 2nd rounder in 2014 which becomes a 3rd rounder in 2014 if PIT doesn't win 2 playoff rounds

Awesome help for our PK

 

[Pfnf]

:O so it continues

 

[Beaudangles19]

wow!!!!!

 

[Oxide]

Sounds good

 

[Crafton]

call me a monkey's uncle. i've been dead set against this from the beginning. but here it is. welcome crankshaft.

 

[Candyman]

Please be Kennedy!

 

[Sypher04]

Awesome. I was hoping one of either the Penguins or the Leafs would make a move for this guy. He's more immediately useful to the Pens. Very happy with this move.

Next up: Iginla.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Wow.

 

[Dying Alive]

I can't wait to see who it's for.

 

[Sypher04]

Please be Kennedy!

Agreed. This would simplify roster space for Iginla too.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

So ... Pouliot, Harrington, or Maatta going the other way?

Same. Oh well, time to jump on board, haha

I don't think I have seen one Sharks game this year.

Anyone care to give a scouting report on how he has played this season?

 

[IcedCapp]

Please be Kennedy!

based on Bylsma discussion of the 3rd line last night (morrow, cooke, sutter) I think this might be a good call.

 

[sf expat71]

People cheering haven't watched many Sharks games this year, methinks. Hope all he needed was a change of scenery, because he's been brutal more often than not this year...

 

[BeauKnows19]

Wow. What's gonna happen with Bort? If he's waived he'll surely get picked up. Unless he's then traded for like a 5th.

I would, but I'm tired of being called negative. Let's just say Morrow and Murray have something in common. Aside from their good looks.

 

[Zbynek]

Goodbye TK!

 

[alcanalz]

Hopefully we get rid of a body at forward, ie. Kennedy / Glass.

I like Jeffrey but even him maybe.

 

[Buzzkiller]

It's probably for a draft-pick + Bortuzzo or something like that.

Honestly...not well.

Hopefully change in scenery/role will get him back to his best.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

With the additions of Murray and Morrow, Shero's building the fastest team in the NHL.

 

[Oxide]

I didn't know Murray was from Sweden?
