Penguins acquire Bjugstad, McCann from Panthers
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forwards Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann from the Florida Panthers for forward Derick Brassard, Riley Sheahan and three 2019 draft picks.
The Penguins announced the trade Friday, a move that will give them an influx of youth in the 26-year-old Bjugstad and the 22-year-old McCann as they make another playoff push.
Bjugstad has five goals and seven assists in 32 games for the Panthers this season while McCann has eight goals and 10 assists in 46 contests with Florida. Bjustad is signed through 2021 and carries a contract with an average value of $4.1 million. McCann’s deal is through 2020 and pays him an average of $1.25 million per season.
The deal ends Pittsburgh’s experiment in attempting to make 31-year-old Brassard the team’s third-line center. Acquired in a deal with Ottawa last season, Brassard struggled to generate much offense during his brief time with the Penguins, collecting just 12 goals in 64 games with Pittsburgh.
Sheahan, 27, brought over in a trade with Detroit early in the 2017-18 season, had 18 goals and 23 assists in 122 games with the Penguins.
Pittsburgh also sent a second-round pick and two fourth-round picks in the 2019 draft to Panthers to complete the deal.

Measles Outbreak Has Some Lawmakers Rethinking Vaccine Exemptions

February 1, 2019

A Pacific Northwest measles outbreak has some state lawmakers rethinking the so-called “philosophical” vaccine exemption as the number of confirmed cases of the virus grows to the dozens. Washington and Oregon are among 17 states that allow some type of non-medical exemption for childhood vaccines for “personal, moral or other beliefs.” In Washington, a bill introduced by Republican Rep. Paul Harris would remove the personal exemption for the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, or MMR.
