Pittsburgh’s Penguins were occupied on Wednesday, making two trades: send Michael Bunting to Nashville predators and exchange Vincent Desharnais to San Jose Sharks.
In their place, the Black and Gold acquired Luke Schenn and Tommy Novak of Predators, and a choice of fifth round draft in 2028 in the Sharks.
Meanwhile, several former Penguin players were in motion Thursday. Here is a summary of who went where.
During the offseason, the Penguins treated the former Champion of the Stanley Reilly Smith Cup at the New York Rangers for a fifth (2025) and the second round (2027). He played 76 games in 2023-24, scoring 13 goals and 40 points.
After 58 games with the Rangers, they exchanged Smith at the Golden Knights in Vegas, where he returned to the team with which he won a championship in 2023. As an “original unsuitable”, a player initially written in the draft of extension of the Golden Knights, he returned “at home” after a season and a half.
The Devils of New Jersey learned that Jack Hughes underwent an operation at the end of the season, the team took care of the defender Brian Dumoulin of the Ducks of Anaheim. In the agreement, the 33 -year -old man joins the metro division in exchange for Herman Traff and a second round choice in 2025.
As fans may remember, Dumoulin came to the Penguins in Jordan Staal’s trade in 2012, winning the Stanley Cup in 2016 and 2017 before signing with the Seattle Kraken as a free agent in 2023. He was treated at the Ducks during the 2024 off-season and has two goals and 16 points in 61 games.
