    With the Penguins in a transitional period, there is a lot happening in terms of movement. The trades started as early as January in 2025 and happened all the way to the last day of the year on Wednesday, when Pittsburgh acquired defenseman Egor Zamurov from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Philip Tomasino.
