The Pittsburgh Penguins entered Free Agent Frenzy 2021 exactly how they said they would.
General manager Ron Hextall publicly laid out his offseason plans by stating that his team were not going to be big-money players on day one. And that remained true.
The team’s “biggest” signing thus far is the addition of former Carolina Hurricane, Brock McGinn, a gritty bottom-six winger whose penalty-killing abilities and tenacious play will help fill the void left by Brandon Tanev’s departure.
In addition to this move, the team brought back beloved forward, Dominik Simon, on a one-year deal, as well as announced the signing of collegiate netminder, Filip Lindberg.
