The NHL draft starts tonight, but for the Pittsburgh Penguins (who don’t pick until 77th overall) the focus is more on Friday and free agency. The Pens don’t have a ton of money or space, but still could probably use adding a decent forward and a right shot defenseman, if possible.
Fortunately for them, the salary cap remaining the same as last year will make for a lot more supply of players on the free agent market in the form of teams not being able or willing to send qualifying offers out. A lack of a QO turns an impending restricted free agent into an unrestricted free agent.
