Where do you think he'll play for the pens?
He was playing mostly on the 2nd line with the Ducks, though I think he started the year on the 1st line. He plays bigger than his just his size, has a Cup, and brings some solid leadership along with his pretty good stats. I can see him with Malkin and Sykora right away. I think Fedo likely will stay with Crosby and who knows who will be on the other wing? Dupuis maybe.

I think Whitney will do fine in that environment. Now, if he had been moved to a Canadian team or NYR, look out. Maybe he'll regain his offense and his defense won't be so noticeable in the future. I have my doubts about that, but good luck Ryan Whitney against some of those Western teams you'll be seeing more of.

I don't like the trade in that he's probably selling Whitney at his lowest value. They get decent production from Kunitz and a guy who probably won't be ready to seriously contribute for 2-3 years, if he does. I'm not disappointed in moving Whitney, but I'm not doing cartwheels over the return either.

We get a decent winger in Kunitz,but i really dont like 3.75mills per year.. Overpaid -but i hope he can be at least 25 goals per season scorer
Whitney was surplus on our defense and his play was the reason he was traded,otherwise it would be Goligoski who would be gone..

And did he have any knowledge of this before? I dont think so.

He will stay with his OHL team, when their season is done, on to WBS.
He's wearing the C too. If the link works. Select gallery, photos by nameJesse wrote:Tangradi struggles with some confidence issues, but he's a grinding power-forward. Not a great shot, mostly a garbage guy. Got some good moves in his bag. Overall, he just bowls people over. Not only is he tall, he's got some mass to him. Sees the ice will. Really gets in the boards to battle. Will drop the gloves when necessary. Doesn't really take well to getting beaten to a puck.
Overall, not much of a shooter. Real north/south kid. Actually has good awarness and vision. Always hypes his own playmaking ability, which is actually quite underrated.

Seriously, this is very bad for business.
