Pens have been busy. First Gary Roberts, now Georges Laraque. As the CP is reporting, "The Pittsburgh Penguins have picked up some muscle, acquiring Georges Laraque from the Phoenix Coyotes for minor-league forward Daniel Carcillo and a late-round draft pick... The tough winger, who waived his no-trade clause for the move, will provide some much-needed protection for Penguins stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal." I like the pickup for the reasons mentioned above -- protection for the young offensive stars.

He does give them much needed brawn - so does Roberts, for that matter.
