A man whose house is on fire needs water to put out the fire, not to swap bicycles with his next door neighbor, but that is exactly what our Pittsburgh Penguins’ GM Jimmy Rutherford did yesterday. In what would appear to be an altruistic move, Mr. Rutherford helped the Detroit Red Wings yesterday by swapping spare part LW Scott Wilson for equally marginal Riley Sheahan, but in the process of the swap helping to relieve Salary Cap stressed Detroit by reducing their pay roll, taking on the $2,075,000 Cap hit of Sheahan in exchange for the $650,000 Cap hit of Scott Wilson.
