PITTSBURGH (WJAC) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded forward Jared McCann to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Filip Hallander and a 2023 seventh-round draft pick.
"We are excited to add Filip back to the organization. He is a well-rounded player with good size who plays the game the right way," said Penguins general manager Ron Hextall. "We are grateful to Jared for his contributions to the team and wish him the best."
Hallander was originally drafted by the Penguins in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft before being traded to Toronto in August of 2020 as part of the Kasperi Kapanen deal.
In 141 career games with Pittsburgh, McCann tallied 39 goals and 45 assists.
