Last Summer, Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes traded Jonathan Kovacevic to the New Jersey Devils for a modest return, a 2026 fourth-round pick. Since then, the right-shot defenseman has scored a goal, 13 assists and has a plus-11 rating in 63 games.
Another ex-Vancouver Canucks player is on the move, as Luke Schenn will be taking his talents to the Winnipeg Jets. Schenn was just traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night from the Nashville Predators. As a steady depth defender, he’ll look to help the Jets solidify their place atop the Western Conference heading into the postseason.
Despite interest from his old Toronto Maple Leafs, Nashville Predators forward Ryan O'Reilly did not, in fact, have any desire for a potential reunion with his hometown team.
Former Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn is on the move for the second time this week, with multiple reports indicating that the Pittsburgh Penguins have traded him to the Winnipeg Jets for a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.
