Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas executed a trade to bolster goaltending depth by acquiring Vancouver Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs. The deal involved trading a 2027 fourth-round pick and forward Chase Stillman, who struggled in the AHL with only three points in 19 games. Silovs, at 24 years old and a height of 6-foot-4, was the odd man out in Vancouver due to other goaltending contracts. He previously gained attention during the 2023-24 playoffs, contributing significantly to the Canucks' playoff success.
The Penguins traded a 2027 fourth-round pick and Chase Stillman to acquire Vancouver Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs, enhancing their goaltending depth.
Silovs, 24, is a tall goaltender at 6-foot-4 and 203 pounds, who gained recognition during the 2023-24 playoffs for the Canucks.
In the 2023-24 playoffs, Silovs helped the Canucks achieve a comeback series win against the Nashville Predators and advanced to a Game 7 against the Oilers.
The trade addressed the Penguins' need for goaltending depth after the earlier trade of Alex Nedeljkovic, leaving them with only one experienced NHL goalie.
