Just reported on TSN. Ekman and prospect goalie Patrick Ehelechner were traded to the Pens in exhange for Pittsburgh's 2nd round pick in the 2007 draft. Ekman had a career year last season netting 21 goals and 36 assists for57 points. Now he'll probably have Sydney Crosby as his centerman. This is probably a bit of a salary dump for the Sharks, who still have to sign Mark Bell, Christian Erhoff, and Mark Smith. The Sharks had also signed Curtis Brown in the offseason.
