Trade deadline update: Satan released

Well lets just say it wasn't one of Shero's most successful acquisitions. Miroslav Satan, who was brought in to replace Marian Hossa on Crosby's wing, has been released today. According to NHL.com,"Now, he is being waived to make salary-cap space, about $900,000."

So anyone keeping a running tab of waived Penguins, we have : Chris Minard (cleared and in Wilkes Barre/Scranton), Bill Thomas (cleared at 12:00 today and remains with the Pens), and now Satan.

I would not expect Satan to be back with the Pens even if he clears waivers. He was a liablility in the defensive zone, shyed away from contact, and even though he had 17 goals, he was very inconsistant.

By the way, Crosby is out yet another game, tonight against the Penguins of the south (Lightning).
