Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted October 21, 2017 So we maybe-kinda-sorta upgraded Sheahan and turned a 5th into a 3rd. Given that Sheahan scored two goals last season and has no points this season, I'm ok with this return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 21, 2017 This seems like a decent trade for us. The upgrade in pick from 5th to 3rd and freeing up cap space to sign Athanasiou makes it a win in my book... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) It's Holland so it must be a bad deal. Seriously though, I found this article that speaks well of him. Seems like he is the kind of guy that will fit in well and will be liked by the fans. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2017/05/19/Scott-Wilson-Penguins-Ottawa-Senators-Stanley-Cup-playoffs-NHL/stories/201705190083 Edited October 22, 2017 by Neomaxizoomdweebie 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 Wow, the legendary Riley last-goal-at-the-Joe Sheahan is no more. No more teletubby jokes or pics of him holding doggos I guess. Bummer. Penguins fans saying Wilson is a fast skater who brings energy and PK work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) This looks like a good one. Hope we can some more picks this year Where will Wilson fit in? a 4th liner? He's pointless this year, like Sheahan, but has some encouraging numbers in the AHL and junior. Edited October 22, 2017 by PavelValerievichDatsyuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 I'm sure Wilson will get a look on the fourth line. He's definitely an upgrade over Booth and Witkowski. At least, in theory. It'll be interesting to see how the lines shake out when AA returns. If everyone in the forward group stays healthy and the team continues to score at a decent clip, we're probably looking at something like this: Mantha Zetterberg Nyquist Tatar Larkin Abdelkader Athanasiou Nielsen Frk Wilson Helm Glendening Blashill seems pretty intent on limiting the fourth line's minutes this season and Frk seems to be regressing, so I could also see the bottom six being Helm-Nielsen-Athanasiou / Wilson-Glendening-Frk. Or Blashill might just banish Frk to the press box and give Booth/Witkowski his spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
