The Pittsburgh Penguins made their first major dip in free agency when they signed forward Brock McGinn to a four year deal worth an annual average value of $2.75 million per season. McGinn, 27, is coming off six seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes, where he was drafted in the second round in 2012.
For the Pens, this is basically the answer to losing Brandon Tanev. McGinn is almost three full years younger, and $750k cheaper then what Tanev’s contract would have been if Seattle didn’t take him from Pittsburgh.
McGinn is a hard-working winger who will be an addition to the PK group.
