The Pens did target Franzen and Co, and maybe that gets McCarty back in the lineup. Maybe. But no Downey unless it gets really ugly.
When the Wings get to the cup clinching game it would be nice to see Downey get in there. He was there all year for the team. I know some people that are in now are in because the are more skilled but he helped this team all year. Helm is a young guy that is a future grinder but he should sit.
