PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins are parting ways with one of their goalies. They have dealt Alex Nedeljkovic, who has a $2.5 million salary, to the San Jose Sharks for a 2028 third-round pick. Now, the Penguins have nine selections in the 2028 draft and 28 picks in the next three drafts — 16 of which are in the first three rounds. Nedeljkovic was with the Penguins for two seasons, playing 38 games in each. Last season, he posted a .894 save percentage. He also became the first goalie in NHL history to score a goal and record an assist in a single game. The trade clears a spot for the Penguins to bring up younger goalies to the NHL, like Joel Blomqvist or Sergei Murashov.
