San Jose ships Heins to Pittsburgh for draft choice
Sunday February 09, 2003SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) The San Jose Sharks traded defenseman Shawn Heins to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday for a conditional 2003 draft choice.
Heins has one assist and nine penalty minutes in 20 games this season as the Sharks' physical seventh defenseman.
He has 10 points in 81 career NHL games, but Heins never earned a regular spot in San Jose's defensive rotation since signing with the club as a free agent in 1997.
