Last Second Trade: Penguins Acquire RHD Timmins, 4th Line Center

Pittsburgh Penguins trade, Conor Timmins

LAS VEGAS — The Pittsburgh Penguins slipped one more trade just before the horn of the 2025 NHL trade deadline Friday.



The team made a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire 26-year-old right-handed defenseman Conor Timmins and depth center Connor Dewar.

According to TSN’s Chris Johnston, the Penguins parted with a late-round pick.

Timmons has eight points (2-6-8) in 51 games this season. He’s a good skating puck mover who isn’t a heavy defender. In 51 games, he has 51 shots and is a plus-2.

Timmins best season was 2022-23, when he had 14 points (2-12-14) in 25 games.

Dewar is a high-intensity player who more than maximizes his skills. He was an overage junior who made it to the NHL based on his compete level. He has just three assists in 31 games this season but also has 80 hits.

Last season, Dewar had 11 goals in 71 games split between Minnesota and Toronto.

Meh, i guess Dewar replaces Glass.

I was hoping for a haul for Rakell today, but at least Sid has a linemate for the rest of the season. Dubas has to be very active this offseason.

Who is going to be in the lineup tonight?

“isn’t a heavy defender”. Pick up Schenn, trade him, get someone who fits in with the Sullysystem.

Schenn wanted to play for a contender.

So the remainder of the season becomes all about stats for Sid. Too bad in a way

Could happen haha…still have Karlsson and Letang giving the puck away and not playing D. Same goalie tandem. Switched out some bottom six but nothing to write home about. Stockpiling picks is smart but have to hit on them. Getting some NHL ready prospects would have been nice. Never will know what happened in trade talks.

It’s a shame what passes for a Pens fan now a days. This joy or schadenfreude that Pens Fans are taking is a Disgrace to everything the Team stands for. You’re not a Fan Rich81 no your just someone who wants to see the team do bad to make your life more acceptable and hey that’s your life but as for me I want Pens Fans to be respectful and actually give a damn about the team not this BS I keep reading. Shame on you Rich81 Shame on You.

Buddy, sport are for entertainment, pure and simple. For you to be so bothered by someone not taking millionaires playing games for a living seriously, then it is apparent that you are completely unhinged. Get a grip. Teams do not “stand” for anything besides profits for the owners and the players. They don’t care about you so I suggest you find something that does, and direct that passion towards it. Good luck with life, homie.

So I guess the 5 Cups the Pens have won mean nothing do they Deathjuice? Your words are very clear: “Profits for Owners and Players”. I’m glad you feel this way I really do cause it shows me who is a real fan and who isn’t. Sure you’ll respond with some type of comment that says your a real fan and all that but your previous comment tells me otherwise.

Shame on you Vittorio. Being disrespectful of other Pens fans and your disgraceful attitude towards those fans is unwelcome. There are fans who see the losses by the team as improving the chances for better drafting which will improve the team. Some hope a more losses might lead to a change at HC. Your opinion is different than them. So what. It isn’t schadenfreude, but looking at a possible silver lining to a very dark cloud.

How is not Schadenfreude? Actively rooting for the Pens to fail just for a stinking Top 5 pick that might not happen is the epitome of Schadenfreude. What happens should the Pens not get a Top 5 Pick then what? Name me a coach who is going to get the attention of the Pens Big 3?

I think Dubas was holding out for NHL ready prospects or under 25 established players PLUS picks for Rakell. If he was going to be an UFA, I’m sure he would have taken less and made a deal, but I’m glad he didn’t give him away for nothing. There’s still a chance he’ll get moved over the summer or next year. There’s always a market for goal scorers.

We were down an O’Connor, so it’s nice to get a Conor *and* a Connor back in the mix.

Well, my faith in Dubas and this team, has been restored. Get what you can for expiring contracts, let others walk and make a team for next year. A lot of noise has probably influenced me into thinking he’s completely bonkers. I’m optimistic for next season. I’m sure we’ll be competitive and make the playoffs. I hope Dubas can deal with the Jarry-Graves situation effectively. That’s the only thing standing in the way of a successful next season. To the tv now and let’s watch the game.

Overall good job by Dubas, but there is absolutely NO way 24 should still be here. If Sully wants him back next year(Sully can never have enough small, soft, puck moving defensemen) he could have signed him in the off season, surely somebody could have used him and we could have gotten something for him, especially since we did NOT use our 3rd retaining space!!! Terrible move there!!!

We’ve been spoiled over the last few decades with the Pens. We’ve (I’ve) seen 5 Stanley Cup champions since the 90’s. At some point it had to come to an end. How else do they dig out of this but gain draft picks, as they’re doing, & try to build from them & catch some lightning for Crosby & Rust 1 more time. They’re not going to win the Cup for a while but I just want to see complete (& maximum compete) effort & technically sound hockey from this team & I’ll be good with it. Go Pens!
