The Penguins have lost forward Brandon Tanev in the NHL Expansion draft. The 29 year old becomes a member of the new Seattle Kraken. In two seasons with the Penguins, Tanev became a fan favorite for his intensity. He registered 41 points in 100 regular season games including 18 goals. He was the teams leading checker by a wide margin. His departure creates a bit of financial flexibility for the Penguins by clearing $3.5 million in cap space.
