The Golden Knights continued to stockpile draft picks on Tuesday, trading center Marcus Kruger to Carolina for a fifth-rounder in 2018.
Kruger was acquired from Chicago two days earlier for future considerations.
The deal gives the Knights six total picks in the 2018 entry draft, including two in the fifth round. The Golden Knights do not have a pick in the third or seventh round.
Kruger, 27, won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks but comes with a hefty price tag for a fourth-line center after signing a three-year, $9.25 million contract extension last spring.
