Jets add depth D-man in trade

The Winnipeg Jets made a move for a depth defenceman on Monday, acquiring Jack St. Ivany from the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward David Gustafsson.

St. Ivany, who turns 27 next month, has nine assists in 53 NHL games with the Penguins and he could get a shot to break camp with the Jets, depending on the recovery time required for Elias Salomonsson (who had shoulder surgery).

St. Ivany has one more season on his contract with an AAV of $850,000 in the NHL before he can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 of 2027.

Gustafsson, 26, was chosen by the Jets in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft, spent all of last season with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and has six goals and 20 points in 149 games with the Jets.
