The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forwards Conor Sheary and Evan Rodrigues from the Buffalo Sabres for Dominik Kahun.
Sheary returns to Pittsburgh, where he previously won the Stanley Cup twice with the Penguins. Sheary was traded from Pittsburgh to Buffalo in June 2017 for a conditional draft pick.
He struggled to find his consistency in Buffalo, where he had 23 goals and 53 points in 133 games, including nine goals and 19 points this season.
Rodrigues is leaving Buffalo after requesting a trade two months ago over his lack of playing time.
Rodrigues joined the Sabres on a two-way contract in 2015. His best season came in 2018-19, when he had 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 74 games.
Kahun, 24, has 10 goals and 17 assists for the Penguins this season. He entered the NHL last season, scoring 13 goals and 24 assists for the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Sabres have been looking to add secondary scoring behind captain and leading scorer Jack Eichel. Kahun is known for his speed and versatility up front.
