The Pittsburgh Penguins already have 17 players under contract for next season and almost all their significant free agents are restricted and expected to be back. If there’s any drama or fun for this off-season, we know it’s likely to be involving a trade and not free agency.
However, one place that it makes sense and there will be cheap, potentially important players available in free agency is on the goalie market.
Post-Marc-Andre, the Pens are in the same situation now as they were 12 months ago upon losing the franchise’s most accomplished goalie to the expansion draft.
