In the moments after day one of the draft, Ray Shero made another big move by trading defenseman Zybnek Micalek to Phoenix for a third round pick, third round pick in last year's draft Harrison Ruopp, a big physical defensman, and 2006 7th round pick Marc Cheverie. In short, Shero cleared 4M more in cap space to make the Penguins bigger players on July 1st. He is also giving a vote of confidence to the young stable of defensemen the Penguins possess. I look for other moves based on his comments to me on Wednesday, and the action seen thus far. A top six winger, a top defenseman and or some tougher bottom 6 forwards remain on the radar of Shero. Oh, and apparently Ruopp likes to fight!
