As we come closer to the preseason, there are still some moves the Pittsburgh Penguins should make in order to stay serious contenders for next June.
Key Moves Made
General manager, Jim Rutherford made a great move by trading away the contracts of both Conor Sheary and Matt Hunwick. The Penguins gained more than five million dollars back towards the salary cap.
The Penguins also went out and signed veteran defenseman, Jack Johnson (31) , who scored 11 points in 77 games last year. Johnson signed five years at 3.25 millions AAV. Johnson sat out all of the 2017-2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs under Tortorella.
