Blues Trade Minor Leaguer To Penguins

by Brad Lee on Mar 4, 2009 11:06 AM CST

The St. Louis Blues traded Andy Wozniewski to the Pittsburgh Penguins organization for Danny Richmond. Sounds like a pond hockey trade in sixth grade. "Hey guys, let's mix it up. We'll trade you Danny for Andy."

Just in case you don't know who either guy is (Wozniewski has played in one NHL game this year for the Blues), Richmond is a defenseman who has spent the season with the Wilkes/Barre-Scranton Penguins. He has three assists and 75 penalty minutes in 49 career NHL games.

Wozniewski is a defenseman who has two goals and 10 assists plus 81 penalty minutes in 77 career NHL games.

For some reason TSN hasn't gone in depth on this transaction yet.

Peoria must be pumped!

Actually, Richmond was picked #31 overall…. so that would make him a “bust”, right?

Now I get it

That’s why the Penguins had scouts at 7 straight Blues game.

I hope we’ll be seeing this again today, modified to fit each of the Blues moves.

Let's go Blues!!!

damnit

wozniewski was my favorite player to assign to the minors and forget about till his contract expired in NHL 09…speaking of which, the blues suck wastewater in that game, EA really fucking hates us

You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off

I can’t wait until the update for next year where Berglund and Oshie are actually usable.

That being said, Big Walt put up like 5 goals in my first 3 games, then disappeared for the next month of the season.. so I have to say EA’s programming isn’t that far off.
