ZIGOMANIS TO PITTSBURGH

The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired forward Mike Zigomanis from the Phoenix Coyotes for future considerations.

What does it give the Pittsburgh Penguins
Zigomanis is a solid face-off man, which is something the Penguins were seeking. He could find his way onto the fourth line quickly as a result of his specialty.

What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
The Coyotes didn't have any room for Zigomanis due to their ongoing youth movement up front. When Steve Reinprecht is your fourth-line center, you don't need Zigomanis. Therefore, they took a future asset in return.
