He couldn't cave though. That's the thing. They are in such cap hell, their only hope was AA signing . It's like when I got rid of my credit card. Now I can't spend money that I don't have. Same as the Wings.

He could have "caved" months ago before Dailey signed, Booth, etc. when there was some cap space.

We all know the Wings are in cap hell. Most Wing fans are on Holland for overpaying/contract lengths, especially players they have drafted/developed. In this case, he didn't. That's my point in regards to Holland in this situation.

If the Wings could somehow rid themselves of Ericsson and Helm with their contracts...

Wings trade Sheahan and a 5th to Pens for Wilson and a 3rd as per TSN. Wings also trade Sproul to Rangers for Puempel. I got this one Bob.

Pens fans on this site are saying Wilson is a solid 4th line guy.

You guys got a solid bottom 6 player with some possible potential. Good trade for both clubs...neither player is currently getting the proper playing time or in the right situation to succeed.

I actually think Sheahan will do well in Pitt.

Wilson's a real blue collar player with some flashes of white collar. He is a hard working player that can flash some skill from time to time.

With us pretty loaded at wing and Daniel Sprong coming up by the end of 2017, it was only a question of who was getting traded and when.

good hockey trade for both sides.
