The Vancouver Canucks made two major trades on Friday night, with the second of those moves seeing them acquire defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O'Connor from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Danton Heinen, Vincent Desharnais, prospect Melvin Fernstrom and a conditional 2025 first-round draft pick.
That draft pick was acquired earlier in the evening when they sent J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers.
It helps the Canucks improve their defense, while also cornering the market on players named Pettersson.
For the Penguins, it is another big step in their re-tooling as they look to rebuild an aging roster.
