With the mid-summer NHL quiet still in full force, there’s not a ton going on but a couple of future expected events elsewhere could be of interest to Penguins fans, and not just because there’s nothing else going on. Restricted free agents William Nylander (TOR) and Sam Reinhart (BUF) are still awaiting contracts from their teams which could come later this month.
What does this have to do with Pittsburgh? Well, in part to help set the market for their top free agent for next season in Jake Guentzel.
Guentzel is on the final year of his standard three year entry level contact in 2018-19.
