Djoos, who was originally a seventh-round pick of the Capitals in 2012, has appeared in 119 career NHL games with Washington and Anaheim.

Seeler was a fifth-round pick in 2011 and has appeared in 99 games with the Wild since. The 26-year-old failed to record a point in six games this season and heads to Chicago to help their blueline that lost Brent Seabrook and Calvin de Haan.
Noesen started the season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) where he had 22 points (14G / 8A) in 22 games and then signed an NHL deal with the Penguins.
