Phil, meet Filip. Soon, anyway.

The Penguins signed one of their top prospects, goaltender Filip Gustavsson, to a three-year, entry-level contract, it was announced by the team Friday morning.

The deal starts when Gustavsson begins playing in North America, and the Penguins said he'll spend 2017-18 in his native Sweden.

Because of that, the deal doesn't mean much as it pertains to the NHL club's current goaltending situation.

Matt Murray is the unquestioned No. 1, Marc-Andre Fleury will likely be selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the upcoming expansion draft, and Tristan Jarry remains a potential backup.
