Penguins Trade Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic to Sharks for 2028 Draft Pick
- On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins traded goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic, sending him to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a third-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft.
- The trade followed the Penguins' ongoing efforts to refresh their roster after missing the playoffs for three straight seasons and signing Nedeljkovic to a two-year contract last year.
- Nedeljkovic appeared in 38 games for Pittsburgh during the previous season, recording a.894 save percentage, and made history as the first NHL goaltender to both score a goal and assist in the same contest.
- Sharks GM Mike Grier said Nedeljkovic is a 'proven winner in this league' who can push their young goalie Yaroslav Askarov and praised his character and collaboration with coach Warsofsky.
- The trade created a roster spot for the Penguins to promote younger goalies like Joel Blomqvist while adding to their stockpile of draft picks with nine selections planned for 2028.
