What did the Penguins get back in the trade?
Photo by Derek Cain/Getty ImagesThe Penguins made a big move on Friday night, sending out Marcus Pettersson and Drew O’Connor, their top two trading chips on expiring contracts. Pittsburgh GM Kyle Dubas talked about the moves in a statement:
The “young prospects, young players” involved were first round pick (via the NY Rangers) and prospect Melvin Fernstrom. If the pick falls in the top-13 of the draft, NYR gets to keep it, but will have to send an unprotected first rounder in 2026.
Fernstrom, 18, was drafted by the Canucks in the third round of last year’s draft.
