: The Penguins have traded defenseman Derrick Pouliot to the Canucks for defenseman Andrey Pedan and a 2018 4th round pick.
Jason Mackay: Penguins GM Jim Rutherford: “Even though he made some strides forward, it looked like the opportunity wasn’t going to happen here.”
Corey Pronman: On Pouliot: “Guy can skate and move the puck great, he just can’t defend.”
Iain MacIntyre: The Canucks wanted Pouliot in a Ryan Kesler trade back in 2013-14. The Penguins refused and offered Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin.
