What the hell? Fire Shero!

 

[Shrimper]

Bye. All the best.

Alexander Aronovich Pechersky

 

[Crafton]

Alexander Aronovich Pechersky

it's now his time to shine

 

[Bennett Brauer]

What?! He's worth a 2nd in NHL 13.

 

[Rectify]

All but guarantees a cup.

All kidding aside, good luck to him.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Now who's going to be gifted the starting job in Wheeling only to lose it a week later to whoever else happens to own a set of goalie pads?

 

[PensFan68]

He did have a pretty decent season in Wheeling a few years ago. Doubt he ever even ends up as a regular in the AHL, but never know.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Pechurisky? I actuallly want to see him play..
As for killen, i think we gave up on him to quickly only 22. Now we only have 2 goalie prospects in our sytem plus zatkoff who looks promising.

 

[deakka]

Frees a contract spot at least

Alexander Aronovich Pechersky

One of the most entertaining games I've ever watched in Vancouver was the Pens/Canucks game where he played.
I was hammered in a bar wearing a Malkin jersey, yelling "PECHERSKYYYYYYYYY!!!" every time he made a save. T'was a good night

 

[OnMyOwn]

Da fuq? I just saw this scroll by, random

 

[Jacob]

He did have a pretty decent season in Wheeling a few years ago.

News to me.

 

[Ogelthorpe]

Wouldn't mind seeing Pens sign Eric LeVine and see if he can work up the goalie depth chart.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

He did have a pretty decent season in Wheeling a few years ago. Doubt he ever even ends up as a regular in the AHL, but never know.

He lost his job to Peter Delmas three years in a row, I wouldn't call any of those pretty decent seasons.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Well, he sucks, so. Whatever, haha.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Oh, I see Shero's back at it again, giving away our players for nothing. Seriously, I'm done. How any of you guys can defend this guy at this point is beyond me.

 

[Zen Arcade]

He lost his job to Peter Delmas three years in a row, I wouldn't call any of those pretty decent seasons.

He was clearly a victim of the numbers game. Who wouldn't feel pressure with legends like Peter Delmas and Scott Darling waiting in the wings?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

WBS signed one of Wheeling's other goalies to a PTO when they needed a backup earlier this year, rather than calling up Killeen.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Zapolski or something? RIP Z Zquad with that guy and Zatkoff.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The only reasoning for this move, as Columbus doesn't have depth issues low in their minors, is Jarmo doing Shero a solid and freeing up a roster spot.

By my count (may be wrong) this puts us at 48 now...so it wasn't a requirement. Maybe Shero is expecting to sign a player or two in the next few days.

 

[Ray Shero*]

We didn't give up much.

 

[Cardboard Orpik]

Couldn't even get a bag of pucks? Half a bag of pucks? A Chili's coupon?

But seriously, all the best to Killeen. Can't feel good to get traded for nothing.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

The future considerations are Marian Gaborik and Ryan Murray.
