In a significant move to bolster their roster, the Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired talented forward Cody Glass, along with a 2025 third-round draft pick and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick, from the Nashville Predators. The acquisition was officially announced today by Kyle Dubas, President of Hockey Operations and General Manager.

Cody Glass, who is currently signed through the 2024-25 season, comes with an Average Annual Value (AAV) of $2,500,000. The 25-year-old forward brings valuable NHL experience to the Penguins, having spent five seasons with both the Vegas Golden Knights and the Nashville Predators. During his NHL career, Glass has showcased his offensive prowess, amassing a total of 71 points (29 goals and 42 assists) in 187 games.

Glass's most impressive season came during the 2022-23 campaign, where he recorded an impressive 35 points (14 goals and 21 assists) in just 72 games. His versatility and skillset make him a valuable addition to the Penguins' roster.

In addition to his NHL experience, Glass has also made his mark in the American Hockey League (AHL). Over the course of four seasons, he has played with the Chicago Wolves, Henderson Silver Knights, and Milwaukee Admirals. In 88 AHL games, Glass has demonstrated his scoring ability, tallying 79 points (22 goals and 57 assists).

As part of the trade, the Penguins are sending forward Jordan Frasca to the Nashville Predators. Frasca has been a valuable contributor to the Penguins' organization but will now have an opportunity to showcase his skills with the Predators.

With the acquisition of Cody Glass, the Pittsburgh Penguins aim to strengthen their offensive depth and add another dynamic player to their lineup. The addition of promising draft picks further enhances their future prospects.

As the NHL offseason continues, this trade marks an exciting development for both the Penguins and their fans. The acquisition of Glass is expected to bolster the team's offensive capabilities and contribute to their ongoing pursuit of success on the ice.
