For a Tuesday in August, it turned out to be a busy day for the Penguins. They helped put Edmonton in a bind and then opted to help Nashville out of one by taking Cody Glass and his $2.5 million cap hit. The Pens aren’t running a charity, of course, so the Predators had to throw in a couple of draft picks for the trouble and make it worth their while.
Using some of the cap space on Glass is the latest move by Penguin GM Kyle Dubas to cast an eye to the future, while in theory adding to the team now.
