Ugh, not sure whether to be happy or sad? Was disappointed this morning when I heard he turned down the Pens 10 yr deal of $60 million, and I thought it might lead to this. Bummer, would have liked to have gotten more for him, but we will see how it pans out. The media said he was intent on trying out free agency and seeing how much he could get which would have meant that the Pens would be out of the running based on what the market would give, barring injury or a bad season. So they up and traded for the 8th overall pick, center Brandon Sutter, and defensman Brian Dumoulin. They picked defenseman Derrick Pouliot with the 8th pick. Not sure on the trade, I thought the Pens were heavy on D men in the minors. Maybe this means they will be trading one of those big contracts of either Martin or Michalek?? We will see.

Gonna miss you Jordan, but can't say I blame the Pens on the move.
