Discarded by Blackhawks, Trevor Daley now playoff star for Penguins

[stillers4me]

Mike Sullivan made his debut behind the Pittsburgh Penguins bench on Dec. 14 with a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals, continuing what had been a miserable start to the season for a team that was on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture and going through its second coaching change in as many years. During that very game, sometime in the third period, the Penguins announced what seemed to be a minor trade that would send defenseman Rob Scuderi to the Chicago Blackhawks for Trevor Daley.

At the time, the biggest reaction to it, mainly from within the city limits of Pittsburgh, was pretty much limited to, "wow ... the Penguins actually got an NHL player for Rob Scuderi" without any concern for whether or not that player could actually play. It was viewed as an immediate upgrade simply because Scuderi, one time a key contributor -- and popular player -- on a Stanley Cup-winning team in Pittsburgh, had become such a liabilty on their blue line that they were happy to see anybody else come in to replace him.


Nobody could have possibly anticipated the impact Daley would eventually have on the Penguins..........
