Guerin

Yesterday, the Penguins acquired Bill Guerin. All they had to give up was at most a 3rd round draft pick.



Great trade.

Basically, in the last couple weeks, the Penguins have received Chris Kunitz, Craig Adams, and Bill Guerin. Their point totals add up to 82. Basically that means one of these guys will get a point every game.

All we really lost was Ryan Whitney. Whits was a good talent, but he missed much of the season with injury and was never really able to mesh back in with the group it seemed. He put up 13 points in 38 games this season.

They Pens have thrived with a new coach, a new system and Chris Kunitz. I think that the addition of Guerin and Adams only helps this cause. Both guys bring some much needed grit to the offensive game.

This team is very good right now and I can't wait to see what they can do when Sidney Crosby comes back to the lineup. The Penguins are going to be a tough out for any of the higher seeds come playoff time.
