The Penguins and Blackhawks exchanged minor-league forwards today, with the Penguins getting Graham Knott from Chicago for Joseph Cramarossa.
Knott, the Blackhawks' second-round draft choice in 2015, will report to the Penguins' American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre.
He is on the final year of his entry-level contract, which carries a $935,833 salary-cap hit when he is in the NHL.
Knott, 22, is 6 foot 3, 199 pounds. He had five goals and four assists in 13 games with the Indy Fuel of the ECHL in 2019-20. During the previous two seasons, he had eight goals and 14 assists in 126 games with the Blackhawks' AHL club in Rockford, Ill.
Knott won a Memorial Cup while playing junior hockey for Windsor in 2017. He put up 60 goals and 99 assists in 250 career Ontario Hockey League games with the Spitfires and Niagara.
Cramarossa, 27, has two goals and one assist in nine games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. Anaheim drafted him in the third round in 2011.
He is scheduled to report to Rockford.
