As we pointed out in yesterday’s post about re-signing Bryan Rust, there would likely be some salary cap implications for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It looks like this is happening sooner than later.
Sheary and Hunwick combine for $5.25 million against the salary cap. Sheary only scored 4 goals in his last 44 games and was demoted to the 4th line in the playoffs so it’s not a shock the team might look to move on from him.
What is coming back, stay tuned. The Pens need cap space to re-sign Riley Sheahan and are also rumored to be very interested in free-agent-to-be defenseman Jack Johnson.
