Trade Grade: Winnik to the Penguins

The deal

The Penguins get: Daniel Winnik (Toronto retains 50 percent of his salary)

The Maple Leafs get: Zach Sill, fourth-round pick in 2015, second-round pick in 2016


Pittsburgh Penguins: C+

Daniel Winnik is a solid player. He can contribute on the third line and the penalty kill, and he can be useful for coach Mike Johnston. But he isn't necessarily worth two assets, which the Penguins paid in second- and fourth-round picks.

“I’m surprised [the Maple Leafs] got a second and a fourth,” said an Eastern Conference executive on Wednesday.
