Drew O'Connor a signé un contrat de 1 ans d'une valeur de 750 000 $ avec les Penguins de Pittsburgh, le 12 mars 2022. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 750 000 $.
Signing Drew for one year at league min is shrewd. Hope he gets more games in the NHL soon, I worry if he’ll get enough opportunities to further his own potential this year. He just doesn’t seem to be gaining anything from playing in the AHL.
He played really well this year before he got injured with a collapsed lung. He seems to be doing well in the AHL now and back healthy. I'm sure he will be called back up soon enough.
