The Golden Knights have traded defenseman Kaedan Korczak to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenseman Parker Wotherspoon. Pittsburgh retains 50% of Wotherspoon’s contract which makes his cap hit in Vegas $500,000 for one season.

Wotherspoon is a 28-year-old left-handed stay-at-home defenseman who played heavy minutes with the Penguins last season. Partnered with Erik Karlsson he logged more than 20 minutes per night and was one of Pittsburgh’s top penalty killers.

Wotherspoon scored three goals and 27 assists in 80 games, all career highs in the NHL, last season.
