Remember when we were sad that he was hurt?

Whitney was dealt to the Ducks for Kunitz and a prospect Tangradi... Not sure what to think of this yet...

UPDATE: Another HUGE win for the Pesonation is that while Janne has stayed up to skate on the 4th line, Chris Minard has been placed on waivers. I like Chris Minard, I have been a supporter of him, but IDK if he can cut it in the bigs, he has gotten good time on good lines and hasn't done much... Even with his size, I was hoping that he'd be more of a menace in front of the net... So if this is the last time we see you in the Pens organization, the Pesonation wishes Minard well...

im not too sure about this... i'm kinda worried... couldn't we get anything better from any other team???

IMO, none of these players can be the winger that we hoped for Sid.

So I don't know.. i guess time will tell... but I hope this is not the only move Shero will make..

I could see St-Louis coming in, but apparently he doesn't want to wave is no-trade clause to come play for the Pens...

Also, i hope the recall move for Janne is not made to enventually trade him in a week!

GO PENS GO!
Hope to see Janne on friday!

Yeah, Kunitz is a 20 goal scorer, doesn't seem like he is much better than what we have, i really haven't seen much of him so idk if he has a more physical presence than the rest of our team... Right now Whits just wasn't doing anything, and with so many young puck moving Defenders coming up, he was expendable...

When it comes down to it, we just won't miss Whitney. Kunitz was 5th on the ducks in goals and leads the team in hits. He might have something interesting to offer. He also had a pretty solid year last year and led the team in GW goals. So it appears he can come through in the clutch.

I'm also pumped we were able to get a prospect in this deal. After losing so many in past moves, this is definitely a welcome sight. Honestly, I would have been happy with this move even if we just got Tangradi.

Yeah, best wishes to Minard also...
