Trades

I am glad that the Penguins acquire Marion Hossa from Atlanta and Hal Gill from Toronto. Hossa will give them scoring left winger with Sidney Crosby and Gill a solid defenseman. Hossa will be tough to resign after this season and the Penguins gave up Erik Christensen and Colby Armstrong. General Manager Ray Shero made these deals to try to win this season. The real test of this trade is went the playoffs start and anything less than Conference or Stanley Cup final appearance would be a failure.
