Trade Deadline Deals
Trade deadline deals. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't. A lot was made about the Pittsburgh Penguins trading for both Gary Roberts and big George Laraque. Many analysts believe that the only weakness the Penguins had going into the playoffs was a lack of toughness. Roberts has certainly played well and helped to remove the soft label from the team. But you shouldn't underestimate what Laraque means to the Penguins. Is it just me? Or does it seem to you that whenever trouble breaks out on the ice, the Penguins like to stay real close to big George?
