The Winnipeg deal doesn't make much sense for the Pens. Chiarot is a depth defenseman with no term, Perreault isn't a center anymore, and Lemieux and Petan are total gambles as to whether or not they're NHL players.

As for the Vegas trade, why would any team trade away a pending UFA and a 2nd round pick when the only things they get in return are lesser picks? Sheahan himself is worth a 3rd as a rental if the Pens wanted to go that route, so you're just flipping a 2nd for a 5th.

Pens say no on both.

I like Perreault, but not at $4.1M for the cap ceiling Pens
Chiarot is a major downgrad on D from Maatta
Petan is not really NHL level
Lemieux is a guy that Sullivan will never play

No reason to dump Sheahan like that at all.
