The reasoning from the Pittsburgh perspective is that they have enough wingers that can step and play but they have been successful with 4 good centers that can all contribute offensively and on special teams, they are not at their best when defending so its better to sell out on their strength, Sheahan is good defensively and PK but doesn't add to the attack, they also need a more capable 2nd PP center.

From EDM's point of view, they need cost certainty and control going forward as well as capable low cost players down the middle. Hags provides speed to keep up with 97, he is signed for 1 more season, he also is a "winner" has experience guy that Chiarelli likes, Adam Johnson is a capable top 9 forward on his ELC. Cole is there more to make it work for PIT but he is also a responsible blue liner, and has "Jam". The picks will also provide cheap ELC players to keep EDM going. I will also do this from EDMs side.
