Former player claims Tom Wilson is being traded

We take this report with a grain of salt, but if it's true this would be the surprise of the trade deadline. Tyler Kennedy played 10 NHL seasons, and won a Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins along the way.

Now it appears Kennedy is trying to turn into an NHL Insider as he took to his Twitter account to claim Tom Wilson is being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This report is clearly speculative, but the Penguins did just clear another $1,500,000 in cap space, so I guess anything is possible. But I'd consider this one a long shot.

Update: Tyler Kennedy's insider career appears to already be over as the Penguins have made a different move.
