Penguins trade Oleksiak to Stars

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to the Dallas Stars in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft, the teams announced Monday.

Coincidentally, the Penguins acquired Oleksiak from the Stars in December 2017 for the same cost.

Oleksiak was a first-round pick (14th overall) of the Stars in 2011 and spent the first six seasons of his career in Dallas, racking up 22 points in 140 games.

In Pittsburgh, the towering blue-liner appeared in 83 regular-season contests, with 25 points to his credit.

Oleksiak signed a three-year contract with the Penguins in July and carries a $2,137,500 cap hit until 2020-21.
