Just ahead of the 3PM deadline where rosters would freeze for the NHL’s Seattle expansion, the Penguins found a way to partially alleviate their problem of having too many good forwards by dealing Jared McCann to Toronto.
From a team press release:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Filip Hallander and a 2023 seventh-round draft pick from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Jared McCann, it was announced today by general manager Ron Hextall.
“We are excited to add Filip back to the organization. He is a well-rounded player with good size who plays the game the right way,” said Penguins general manager Ron Hextall.
