BREAKING: Pittsburgh Terminates Newly Acquired Players' Contract
Yesterday the Penguins made a trade and have already decided to cut ties with one of the players they acquired.
Penguins Terminate Plasek
Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Penguins made a trade with the Vancouver Canucks in which they acquired Jack Rathbone and Karel Plasek from the Canucks.
The Penguins have acquired defenseman Jack Rathbone and forward Karel Plasek from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Mark Friedman and Ty Glover. Today it was announced that the Penguins would be terminating Plasek's contract.
Karel Plasek -- acquired yesterday by PIT from VCR -- is on unconditional waivers for purposes of contract termination
So now the trade is Friedman + Glover for Rathbone and a contract slot that can be used on whomever. It is an intriguing move and only time will tell what happens.
