Pittsburgh Penguins' newly appointed General Manager, Kyle Dubas, continues to make impactful moves during his inaugural offseason with the team.

Dubas Recruits Familiar Talent to Bolster Roster

In his latest move, Dubas is redefining the Penguins' line-up by securing former Maple Leaf, Andreas Johnsson, with a one-year contract.

This contract, set to span the entirety of the upcoming season, will see Johnsson earn an Average Annual Value (AAV) of $800K, providing a cost-effective solution for the team.

Johnsson's addition to the Penguins is poised to provide a significant contribution. Known for his reliability as a middle-six forward, he consistently demonstrates an ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities whenever they arise.
