Blues trade P.O Joseph to Penguins for future considerations: What it means for both teams
New York TimesThe Penguins are bringing an old friend back to Pittsburgh. P.O Joseph, who played parts of four seasons with the Penguins, is headed back to Pittsburgh for future considerations after signing with the St. Louis Blues during the free agency period last summer. HE'S BAAACK ‼️ The Penguins have acquired defenseman P.O Joseph from the St. Louis Blues for future considerations. Penguins president of hockey operations/general manager Kyle Dubas and coach Mike Sullivan were pleased with Joseph’s performance during the Penguins’ late-season surge, leaving many surprised that the Penguins didn’t opt to bring him back before the free agency period hit. He’s not a great player and may never live up to the billing of being a first-round pick, but the Penguins know what they’re getting in Joseph: an undersized defenseman who sometimes struggles in his own territory but who can skate and move the puck well, and a very popular person in the locker room during his time in Pittsburgh.
