Équipe: 2022-23 Penguins de Pittsburgh

Date de création initiale: 22 mai 2022

Publié: 22 mai 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

- With Rust coming back cheaper than originally thought, it looks like the Penguins may be leaning towards running it back with the core so Malkin and Letang return as well.
- Motte is signed during Free Agency to bring on a much needed defensive minded forward to the roster with the idea of forming a shutdown line with him, Blueger and McGinn.
- Puustinen and O'Connor make the roster after training camp. Hopefully Puustinen flashes some middle six potential.
- As you can see, there is some turnover with Heinen, Kapanen, Boyle and Rodriques not returning. I am guessing Boyle calls it a career, Heinen and Rodrigues are due for raises elsewhere.
- With DeSmith's injury history, they go with signing a younger Free Agent Goalie in Comrie.
- There are big changes at the blue line with Marino and Dumoulin being traded out (see trade notes).
- Lastly there is a couple million left over for call ups if necessary (they were too cap-strapped late last season to call up much needed fresh legs) and the 2023 Trade Deadline.
