The Penguins performed a little organizational clean up on Thursday, paving the way for forward Linus Olund to move on.
Olund, 22, was a fifth round pick in 2017 by Pittsburgh. He came over to North America for the 2018-19 season, scoring just six goals and adding nine assists in 61 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre in that season. Then, last summer, the Pens “loaned” Olund back to Sweden (which really just means they allowed him as a player under contract to play outside their organization) and Olund scored 14 points (4G+10A) in 45 games with Brynas Galve IF of the SHL.
