It is always fun to win with a team that you like. That was not working in Pittsburgh. It is not fun to lose with any team. So the Pens made a trade bringing in one of there most hated players Dion Phaneuf. It was a deal that broke down very quickly over a couple PM's with the with both GM's seeming to fill needs of what they were looking for.

The deal breaks down as follows:

To Minny:
Joe Thornton
Bryce Salvador

To Pittsburgh:
Dion Phaneuf
Raffi Torres
