For those interested, this cost Pittsburgh $41,250, paid to New Jersey and not counted against the cap.
New Jersey previously claimed Dea off waivers from Pittsburgh at the start of the season.
Will likely be sent to wbs i'd say, unless someone else put a claim in as well, so it shouldnt affect TBs chanses all that much, besides ,whats the rush with Teddy? Its not like another full year in the A will hurt him all that much..What is the point of this? It's one more obstacle between giving Blueger a shot at the NHL level.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to negotiate a trade and get Dea back for futures or something?For those interested, this cost Pittsburgh $41,250, paid to New Jersey and not counted against the cap.

Right - forgot about the waiver fee at the front end of this.The Devils paid the same waiver claim cost to the Penguins in claiming Dea back in September, so that financial cost washed out. The Devils were probably fine with him possibly playing in the AHL and being an injury callup down the road rather than getting a conditional pick which might turn out to be nothing.
Good depth center option, hopefully it pushes JR to look to dump Sheahan on someone who will take him. They now have Cullen, Grant, Sheahan, Dea and Blueger who would all be competent or better in a 4C role.
He was a mole, Pens planted in Devils system to find out, how the hell they beat them all the damn time.
Because why would you ever pass up on free depth you can stash in the AHL? It also lets them be more able to dump Sheahan on someone else.
