Pens Trade Blueger; Acquire Mikael Granlund

PITTSBURGH — The busy night continued Wednesday when GM Ron Hextall executed the second Pittsburgh Penguins trade in less than one hour. First, Hextall traded center Teddy Blueger to the Vegas Golden Knights, then followed that move with accompanying salary cap space to acquire Nashville Predators left wing/center Mikael Granlund. The Pens give up a second round pick in 2023 in return. The Penguins acquired a third-rounder in the Blueger deal and upped their available salary cap space to $6.3 million.
