Pens and Wings deal
The Pittsburgh Penguins have addressed their need for secondary scoring; hopefully it did not cost them their powerplay scoring. The Pens sent powerplay specailist Jussi Jokinen and young winger Colby Armstrong to the wings in exchange for speedy two way winger Marco Sturm and defensive specailist Brian Willsie and some cash. Pens management hope that this deal will help the Pens secondary scoring while adding a player who can play more of an all round game then the players they sent away. It was hard to deal away young talent but the Pens now feel they have a more well rounded team that can hopefully turn the recent struggles around.
