Pittsburgh Meet Bill Guerin

by: The PensNation Staff

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Bill Guerin from the New York Islanders for a conditional pick.


The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired the services of Right Winger Bill Guerin in a trade with the New York Islanders today. I view this as a good trade because the Penguins didn't give up much to bring Guerin to Pittsburgh, which is good since he is on the final year of his contract and not to mention he is 38 years young. Here is a video on Bill Guerin I managed to dig up on youtube.

I'm not sure what future plans the Penguins have for Guerin after this season, but while he is here I would imagine he will be on the 1st line with Sid and perhaps Kunitz. But I don't know if Bylsma wants to split up the line of Kunitz-Staal-Kennedy, we will see what comes tomorrow as the Penguins take on the Florida Panthers.
