Pittsburgh Penguins Trade Luke Schenn To Winnipeg Jets
The Pittsburgh Penguins have quickly flipped Luke Schenn, trading the veteran defenseman to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Pittsburgh had just acquired Schenn from the Nashville Predators earlier in the week as part of a deal that sent Michael Bunting to Nashville.
Now, the Penguins turn a short-term depth move into valuable future assets.

Schenn, 35, is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and brings experience to a Jets team that currently sits atop the NHL standings.
The 6-foot-2, right-shot defenseman has one goal and five points in 61 games this season while averaging 15:35 of ice time.
He is in the second season of a three-year, $8.25 million contract and will remain under team control through 2025-26.
With Winnipeg making a serious push for a deep playoff run, Schenn’s physical presence and playoff pedigree could be key down the stretch.

Drafted fifth overall by Toronto in 2008, Schenn has played 1,057 career NHL games with stops in Toronto, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Arizona, Anaheim, Vancouver, Tampa Bay, Nashville, and Pittsburgh.
He helped the Lightning win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020 and 2021 and now joins a Jets team looking to lift the trophy for the first time.
