The Pittsburgh Penguins signed center Derek Grant yesterday for the 2018-19 season. Grant’s been a journeyman playing for five different organizations in the last five years, but is still relatively young at 28 and had a pretty decent season last year with the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim had all sorts of injuries to their forwards last year, and as The Athletic’s Seth Rorabaugh noted, Grant got an opportunity to have a decent-sized role early in the year and made the most of it during the portion of the season where Ryan Kesler was out.
