As if to prove they are still at work in summer, the Penguins and St. Louis Blues have made one of the more...interesting trades that you will see.
Pittsburgh had acquired the Blues’ second round pick in the transaction that saw Kevin Hayes join the Pens. But now STL has moved to get their pick back in 2025 and delay Pittsburgh getting a second rounder until 2025. For their troubles, Pittsburgh upgrades with a fifth round pick turning into a third.
The Penguins have acquired a 2026 second-round draft pick and a 2025 third-round draft pick.
