Geek alert: NHL draft today. The Penguins of Pittsburgh traded young 3rd line center Jordan Staal for center Brandon Sutter, defenseman Brian Dumoulin, & a draft pick that brought in defenseman Derrick Pouliot.

Sutter is a former 1st round pick in '07, who has proven durable & has improved every year. Dumoulin was a 2nd round pick in 2009. Pouliot compares to Letang, as slightly undersized, but skates very well & can move the puck.

They also sent Michalek to Phoenix for defenseman Harrison Ruopp, goalie Marc Cheverie, and a third-round pick.

The transformation continues. Once Crosby's deal gets done, & rest assured it will, it looks like the Pens are gearing up for a slew of solid two-way players to add to their uptempo, scoring style.
