Neal and Niskanen traded to Pittsburgh for Goligolski

...And the Stars general manager was fired afterwards and it was later revealed that he was arrested for having trace amounts of cocaine in his system. Seriously though, what kind of fucking trade is that? Why did Dallas trade Neal, a 30-goal scorer, and Niskanen, a relatively young defenseman with lots of upside, for Goligolski, a slightly underrated offensive defenseman? I'm not too sure, but the Pens win this deal for sure in my books. In other news, anytime the NHL general managers want to fuck off and stop making deals and detracting from the excitement of the trade deadline, that would be great. Since Crosby and Malkin are hurt, this deal means that the Penguins will have at least one player (Neal) who doesn't belong in the AHL on their NHL roster.

James Neal
