The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. Winnipeg Jets get: Defenseman Luke Schenn Pittsburgh Penguins get: 2026 second-round draft pick, 2027 fourth-round draft pick Winnipeg Jets get: Forward Brandon Tanev Seattle Kraken get: 2027 second-round draft pick James Mirtle: I had a front-row (press box) seat when the Maple Leafs acquired Luke Schenn at the trade deadline two years ago for a third-round pick.

The Winnipeg Jets acquired Brandon Tanev from the Seattle Kraken and Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.

So much for the glowing words of praise about looking forward to Schenn’s physical defense and leadership in the room to mentor young defensemen.

Former Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn is on the move for the second time this week, with multiple reports indicating that the Pittsburgh Penguins have traded him to the Winnipeg Jets for a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.

The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club announced today they have acquired defenceman Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for the Jets second-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft and fourth-round selection in the 2027 NHL Draft.

Brandon Tanev, a pending unrestricted free agent, was held out of Thursday's 5-3 Kraken road loss to the Predators, the telltale sign a trade was coming.

As quickly as it arrived, the NHL Trade Deadline passed, and the Winnipeg Jets stayed fairly quiet as the clock ran out. In what was one of the most shocking deadlines of the past several years, star players found new homes and helped some of the NHL’s cup contenders solidify already impressive rosters.
