The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded center Brandon Sutter and a third-round draft pick to Vancouver for center Nick Bonino, defenseman Adam Clendening and a second-round pick.
Sutter had 21 goals and 12 assists for the Pens last season. The 26-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent with a cap hit of $3.3 million.
Bonino had 15 goals and 24 assists for Vancouver. The 27-year-old has two years left on his contract, with a cap hit of $1.9 million.
Clendening is an offensive defenseman who’s put up good numbers in the AHL, but has played just 21 NHL games for Chicago and Vancouver. The 22-year-old was traded to the Canucks in January.
The Penguins also announced today that they’d signed center Eric Fehr to a three-year deal.
