Shannon traded to Wings

March 5th, 2008 by Bob Chavez

It’s one of those deals that makes your head spin. Four teams, six players and a few draft picks. All of this was announced earlier today as Philadelphia, Chicago, Edmonton and Minnesota all did some swapping.

Bottom line: A.J. Shannon is now with the Philadelphia Wings. That’s probably the biggest name to move, as the Wings add another finisher to their already potent offense. The Wings also got a new goaltender in Brandon Miller (from Chicago) and a few draft picks.

Minnesota acquired Keith Cromwell and Dan Marohl from Philadelphia, and while Edmonton and Chicago each received a player or two, they also stockpiled some draft picks for the seasons to come.

The entire deal is explained at NLL.com, so check it out to find out where Lindsay Pluckett’s playing now.
