Best Potential Fits For The Pittsburgh Penguins in Free Agency
Examining the best signings for the Pittsburgh Penguins in free agency is crucial as the Penguins hope to compete in a spot for the playoffs. With the 2024-2025 NHL season looming, the Pittsburgh Penguins have an aging roster aiming to compete. A few weeks into Free Agency, the Penguins are left with about 3.5 million dollars in cap space. The team has filled many holes through the acquisitions of players like Kevin Hayes, Anthony Beauvillier, and Matt Grzelcyk. Nevertheless, there are still some question marks on the roster for the Penguins to address. A seasoned winger can provide stability, experience, and additional scoring depth, which is crucial for a successful campaign. Additionally, the Penguins need to strengthen their defence by finding a good partner to play third-pair right defence minutes alongside veteran Matt Grzelcyk. A proven two-way player would add depth and reliability to the defensive unit, ensuring the team has a balanced and effective blue line.
