Pittsburgh Penguins Pick Up Conor Sheary, Evan Rodrigues

February 24, 2020 at 1:32 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 11 Comments

The Pittsburgh Penguins have picked up a pair of players as the Buffalo Sabres have sent forwards Conor Sheary and Evan Rodrigues to the Penguins for Dominik Kahun, according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun.

Sheary returns to the only other team he’s ever played for. The 27-year-old played for the Penguins for three years, but was traded back in 2018 with Matt Hunwick for a 2019 fourth-round pick. Sheary has 23 goals over a season and a half, including nine goals and 19 points this season through 55 games. The winger should add some much-needed depth for the team, which has been riddled with injuries up until now.

Rodrigues asked the Sabres for a trade back on Dec. 31 due to his lack of playing time, who has appeared in just 38 games for the team and has been a healthy scratch off an on this season. Rodrigues has five goals and nine points this season and should add some more depth, alongside Sheary, for a team that has been riddled with injuries all season.

Kahun arrives in Buffalo with some more potential and may be the best player in the trade. The 24-year-old has nine goals and 27 points this year after arriving in a trade last summer in Chicago where he had 10 goals and 37 points. He originally signed with the Blackhawks out of Germany. He should give the Sabres a helpful third-line option. Kahun will be a restricted free agent this summer.

      Ya that made no sense at all. These two both seem like a much better fit.

    Seems like only yesterday the Pens dumped Sheary (and Matt Hunwick) to clear cap room in order to sign the amazing Jack Johnson. Good times, good times.

    I knew we’d get Conor back somehow, but…giving up on Kahun is steep.

    No idea how you get rid of Kahun as he seemed to really be fitting in here

    Rutherford continues to roll the dice on wild trades that make sense to no one. If they win the Cup, he looks smart, otherwise he looks like the insane nut that signed Jack Johnson.

    I’ve seen these guys in Vegas before. $40,000 on Double Zeros….let’s hope Marleau wins the whole thing.

      Rutherford is a HOF’er and Jack Johnson has been fine.

    This trade has financial reasons in mind as well. Kahun fit ok but not great and has some problematic injuries. Maybe wouldn’t have signed this offseason. Sheary fit, there is no denying that and rodrigues fills a role. Also sheary can re-up for a reasonable rate to play for the team he has success and fun with. He scored some massive goals lets not forget. Go pens!
