PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

GOAL HEADING INTO DEADLINE:  Get defensive depth to account for the injuries to Kris Letang and Paul Martin, add forward depth without giving up key defensive blue chip prospects and possibly add an experienced goaltender as insurance for the seemingly inevitable Marc-Andre Fleury playoff meltdown.

WHAT THEY DID:

  • Acquired Marcel Goc from Florida for a 3rd and 5th round pick
  • Acquired Lee Stempniak from Calgary for a 3rd round pick

WIN/LOSE/DRAW? They got some marginal forward players who will contribute, but they missed out on some defensemen that would help.  DRAW
