Getty Images The Penguins have claimed center Cal O’Reilly off re-entry waivers from the Phoenix Coyotes.
Pittsburgh will be O’Reilly’s third team of the season. The 25-year-old was traded from Nashville to Phoenix back in October.
O’Reilly has 40 points in 107 career NHL games, which isn’t such a bad stat line when you consider he typically plays just 12-15 minutes per game (not to mention Phoenix and Nashville aren’t exactly the 1980s Edmonton Oilers.) A pending RFA, his $1.05 million cap hit will be split equally between the Pens and Coyotes.
It should be interesting to see how O’Reilly fares on a team that can put the puck in the net. With centers Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal out with injuries, he could feasibly find himself playing in the top six.

Another great addition to “the fraanchise.” Just when I think this team already has too much talent, Good old Ray adds another piece. He will instanly benefit from all the skill and talent around him. Welcome aboard a team destined for greatness

Obviously Nashville doesn’t need him. Glad the Pens do.

He was traded to Phoenix earlier this season so this is his 3rd team of the year. 4th if you include his time spent in the AHL.

Obviously not many mortals can figure out the inner workings of the coach disco system. Lines tend to change rapidly and without warning. Tanger, I think I saw the virgin mary in the reflection of your beautiful hair this weekend. You put Fabio to shame you handsome beast

Great. Now he has five accounts, is pretending he actually is each respective player, and is making them hit on each other. It’s like a sexually-confused child trying to make his action figures touch each other.

Love the vegetable comment…instant classic. On a more serious note, can we get this douche bag that wants warm cum of all ever pens players on his face, kicked off? I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sick of it.

As a fan who likes the Pens and despises the Capitals, please, God, listen to this man. Heed his wise, wise words.
