Penguins trade Matt Murray to Ottawa Senators for 2nd round pick, forward prospect

The Penguins announced a long-expected move with Matt Murray getting traded. The landing spot is an interesting one, it’s the Ottawa Senators.

In return the Pens get a 2nd round pick today (52nd overall) and prospect (and presumably not Oakland Raiders head coach) Johnathan Gruden.

The 52nd overall pick is towards the middle-end of the second round, originally belonging to Columbus.
