Less than a week into the season and these two teams have already picked up some great wins, and now, they've swapped two players in a solid deal, confirmed by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Pittsburgh receives:

D Jack Rathbone
F Karel Plasek.

Vancouver Receives:

D Mark Friedman
F Ty Glover.

This is a move that benefits both teams, and while it's not going to be the last trade we see this winter, it's certainly a good one, and we will now watch and see just how these teams benefit from swapping talented young players.
