Happy 4th everyone, our season review rolls on with a look at the season of Eric Fehr.
Age and Contract Status
Age: 30 (September 7, 1985). Signed a three year contract with a $2.0 million cap hit with the Penguins in the summer of 2015, so has 2 more seasons with Pittsburgh until 2017-18.
Preseason Expectations
With the news that Pittsburgh had signed Fehr, they also announced he was having elbow surgery and miss the beginning of the season. As such, expectations were immediately tempered as Fehr (a natural winger with some center experience) went from being a candidate to replace Brandon Sutter as 3rd line center down to a 4th line and PK support role.
