Thread: Pittsburgh trade based on Darren Dreger rumour
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Texus</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Klink2014</b></div><div>Maatta is currently playing great hockey so I don't think PIT is interested in trading him right now, and in the event of injury, Sprong is probably the first forward called up. I like Galchenyuk but I don't think he can really be a quality center, I see him more of a top 6 winger</div></div>

I totally agree about Galchenyuk being a winger, but Darren Dreger specifically mentioned his name in connection with Pitt's search for a C so that's pretty much the only reason I did this roster. I was really surprised that was the info Dreger got but it is what it is.

And for Maatta I've seen a lot of Pens fans on here saying he's playing great, but is he really indispensable though? He's still their fifth ranked defenseman in total ice time so far this season, and more importantly 5th by a pretty big margin at 5 on 5... Seems to me like he can be sacrificed to add another potentially very dynamic offensive forward like Galchenyuk.</div></div>

Yeah i saw the article so i know exactly what you mean Dreger definitely mentioned PIT, and they've probably looked into it, just like they did previously with Sheahan and Duchene. I just don't know if I want to trade Maatta who's playing well for a center who probably is better suited for the wing and isn't playing so well. If both were playing well then I'd say Maatta for Galchenyuk straight up would be a fair hockey trade, just like Johansen and Jones
