The Golden Knights have acquired forward Teddy Blueger from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2024 3rd round pick and prospect Peter DiLiberatore.
Blueger is a defense-first, penalty-kill specialist who has scored just 10 points in 45 games this season. He starts 87.2% of his shifts in the defensive zone. His career high in points came last season when he scored 28 (9G, 19A) in 65 games. He received a 4th place vote for Selke in 2019-20, finishing 26th in the voting.
DiLiberatore was a 6th Round pick in 2018 (#180 overall) and is ranked 18th on the SinBin Prospect Rankings.

We need 10 more guys just like him for 100!

Anybody left out there the VGK can sign who score goals and make plays? Guess the focus shifts to goalie now as they are loaded up on defensive guys and non-scoring specialists.

Rumor has it, he still may be in play from CBJ. He’ll score a TON of goals……………….

He’s giving me a Gordie Howe vibe……not really.
John Wendt
Yay! Another Kolesar/Kessel/Amadio/bottom 6 forward. Big splash.
This tells you the FO isn’t counting on a deep playoff run with what they have. I’d rather that than get another Patches/Eichel/Stone and Mortgage the future.

Not too shiny new toy. Not ground shaking trade. Good solid D hopefully.

This pickup makes me question Roy’s health. Defense first center, says probably a 4th line center, if needed. That’s all I can really think of. It’s a strange pick up.
THE hockey GOD
that same thought crossed my mind

What’s his wide open net shot accuracy like?

LOL. I think it’s 14.3%.
