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.
