Pittsburgh Penguins News

Tomas Galvas - Signs entry-level deal Galvas signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins on Thursday.

Impact Galvas went unselected in two drafts before being chosen 54th overall by the Penguins in the 2026 NHL Draft. He's signed with Czech club Liberec through the 2027-28 campaign but has the tools to make an impact once he's in the mix to make his NHL debut. Across 32 regular-season appearances with Liberec last year, he recorded eight goals, 16 assists and 10 PIM.

David Gustafsson - Lands one-year contract Gustafsson signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Penguins on Sunday.

Impact Gustafsson was dealt to Pittsburgh from Winnipeg on Monday in exchange for Jack St. Ivany. The 26-year-old Gustafsson didn't appear in a game with the Jets in 2025-26, so he will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He has 149 regular-season games of NHL experience, though, so he should be a call-up candidate if he winds up starting the year in the minors.

Joel Blomqvist - Pens two-year contract Blomqvist landed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Impact Blomqvist didn't play in a game with Pittsburgh this past season, but he performed well with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, going 16-5-4 with a .913 save percentage and a 2.40 GAA over 26 outings. The 24-year-old is the No. 3 goaltender on the Penguins' organizational depth chart, so he may not see much time with the big club in 2026-27 on the condition that Arturs Silovs and Sergei Murashov are healthy.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Arturs Silovs - Agrees to short-term deal Silovs agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Penguins on Sunday.

Impact Silovs made 39 appearances in his first year with the Penguins in 2025-26, posting a 19-12-8 record, 3.07 GAA and .887 save percentage. The Latvian netminder will certainly have to prove himself in 2026-27 to earn a longer contract next year, which might be difficult if Silovs can't command more playing time than Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist, who the Penguins signed to a two-year contract Sunday.

Egor Chinakhov - Gets three-year deal Chinakhov inked a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Penguins on Sunday.

Impact Chinakhov was acquired by Pittsburgh from Columbus in December, which led to him getting a much bigger role with his new team. The Russian winger set new high-water marks in goals (21), assists (21), shots (140) and games played (72) during the 2025-26 regular season between the two teams. While Chinakhov didn't record a point in the 2026 playoffs, he had a strong end to the regular season, generating eight goals and 22 points over the final 18 games, so he has sleeper appeal heading into this coming season as a top-six player in Pittsburgh.

Hendrix Lapierre - Inks two-year contract Lapierre signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with the Penguins on Friday.

Impact Lapierre produced 16 points over 74 appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. He was dealt to the Penguins on June 25 as the Capitals needed to shed commitments following their aggressive retooling prior to the draft. The 24-year-old forward will be in contention for bottom-six minutes in 2026-27, but he may not play on an everyday basis.

Alexander Alexeyev - Signs overseas Alexeyev signed a two-year contract with KHL club Salavat Yulaev on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Alexeyev was given a qualifying offer by the Penguins, so the team will retain his NHL rights while he is playing in Russia. The 26-year-old blueliner saw action in 38 regular-season games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year, generating three goals and nine assists, but never logged an appearance with Pittsburgh.

Kuzmenko signs 1-year contract with Penguins | NHL.com Forward had 25 points for Kings last season; defensemen van Riemsdyk, Carlile each get 2-year deal

JULY 1 • NHL.COM

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Gets two-year contract Van Riemsdyk signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Penguins on Wednesday.

Impact Van Riemsdyk had three goals, 14 points, 18 PIM, 12 hits and 97 blocks in 68 regular-season appearances with Washington in 2025-26. The 34-year-old is likely to open 2026-27 as part of the Penguins' third pairing. Declan Carlile, who also joined the Penguins on Wednesday in a two-year, $3 million deal, will likely end up as the seventh defenseman on the depth charts as a result of van Riemsdyk's signing.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Andrei Kuzmenko - Headed for Steel City Kuzmenko signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Impact Kuzmenko's deal is pretty much the Kyle Dubas standard at this point -- a one-year deal that won't impact the team long term and could have value at the trade deadline. The 30-year-old winger logged 52 regular-season games with the Kings last year, producing 13 goals, including eight with the man advantage. Kuzmenko could find himself paired up with fellow Russian Evgeni Malkin on the second line, though his hold on that spot would likely be tenuous at best.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Declan Carlile - Inks two-year pact Carlile put pen to paper on a two-year, $3 million contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Carlile played in just 42 regular-season games for the Lightning last season, producing one goal and two assists to go with 51 hits and 38 blocks. The Penguins certainly aren't bringing the 26-year-old blueliner into the lineup for his offensive upside, and neither should fantasy managers.

Robertson traded to Penguins by Maple Leafs for draft pick | NHL.com Toronto receives fourth-round pick in 2028 for restricted free agent forward

JULY 1 • NHL.COM

Nicholas Robertson - Getting fresh start Robertson was acquired by Pittsburgh from Toronto on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Robertson set career highs in 2025-26 with 16 goals and 32 points in 78 outings with the Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old has offensive potential beyond what last season's numbers imply, and there have been stretches where he's been extremely effective. However, consistency has been a problem for Robertson, and he was never able to cement himself as a top-six forward with Toronto. A fresh start is probably what's in his best interests, but it wouldn't be surprising if he similarly struggles to maintain a top-six job with the Penguins in 2026-27.

Who is Kaedan Korczak? Why Penguins traded for Golden Knights defenseman in blue line deal | Sporting News Pittsburgh has brought aboard a 25-year old defenseman.

JUNE 30 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Kaedan Korczak - Swapped in one-for-one deal Korczak was traded to the Penguins from the Golden Knights on Tuesday in exchange for Parker Wotherspoon.

Impact Korczak is three years younger than Wotherspoon but carries a significantly higher cap hit ($3.25 million), especially with the Pens retaining half of Wotherspoon's contract. Perhaps more importantly, the 25-year-old Korczak is a right-handed defenseman, which gives Pittsburgh some cover on that side behind Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang.
