5 Penguins Trades

The Pittsburgh Penguins have already been active on the trade market, scoring Daniel Winnik from the Toronto Maple Leafs and David Perron from the Edmonton Oilers. They are not going to settle for just that. They still have plenty of moves to make to put together a Stanley Cup contender.

An Edmonton Oilers defenseman doesn't sound like something that will help a team out, but Andrew Ference is a different story. He is in a bad situation that continues to get worse. If he goes to the Penguins, then his entire career will be rejuvenated.

Curtis Glencross' stock is on the rise after rumors came out that he wants out of Calgary. The problem is, his price may be too high since there are so many teams asking about him, and the Flames are still in the playoff race. If the price goes down closer to the deadline, the Pens should jump at the chance to get Glencross.

This would be a great move for the future of the Pens' franchise. They would love to have such a good third line center for the next few years.

The Penguins really need a veteran defenseman to help their blue line. The Devils are getting rid of veterans and trying to make the oldest team in the NHL much younger. Zidlicky is definitely going to come cheaper than most other defensemen.

Antoine Vermette would be the key player in the Penguins' plans. He is another one who is being tracked by multiple teams. It will cost a little more, but it will be well worth it if it helps the Pens raise the Stanley Cup at the end of the season.
