There has been much speculation about the Penguins making another trade this offseason, after making the Phil Kessel trade with Toronto...Today they moved center, Brandon Sutter and a 2016 third round pick to Vancouver for Forward Nick Bonino, and Defenseman, Adam Clendening, and a 2016 second round pick...
Sutter has a year left on a contract that is a $3.3 million cap hit...Bonino is signed through the 2016-2017 season at an annual cap hit of $1.9 million...The two have similar offensive numbers and both play solid defense...The Penguins feel Clendening, who only has 21 NHL games under his belt, still has plenty of upside and expect him to be in their top 7 defensemen this season...
Then with the money they freed up, the Penguins signed forward, Eric Fehr to a three year, $6 million contarct...Fehr is a big, strong player who has put up 177 points in 454 NHL games, most with Washington.
