Utah Hockey Club is keeping busy early on at Day 2 of the NHL Draft.
The NHL's freshest club completed its second big trade of the day, acquiring defenceman John Marino from the New Jersey Devils for the 49th pick in the draft and a 2025 second-round pick (via Edmonton).
They also acquired the 153rd pick in the draft as part of the deal.
Marino, 27, had four goals and 21 assists in 75 games last season. In five seasons in the NHL between the Penguins and Devils, he has 18 goals and 89 assists in 328 games played.
Utah swung a blockbuster deal just before this one to acquire defenceman Mikhail Sergachev from the Lightning, sending Conor Geekie, J.J. Moser and two picks to Tampa Bay.
With the 49th pick in the draft, the Devils selected goaltender Mikhail Yegorov.
