The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to a three year, $6,412,500 contract. The deal keeps Oleksiak under contract through the 2020-2021 season and carries an AAV of $2,137,500.
Kris Letang – $7.25MM
Justin Schultz – $5.5MM
Brian DuMoulin – $4.1MM
Olli Maatta – $4.083MM
Jack Johnson – $3.25MM
Jamie Oleksiak – $2.137MM
Chad Ruhwedel – $650,000
The Oleksiak deal now leaves the Penguins with around $1.4 million in cap space. If the team opted to carry 23 skaters, Pittsburgh’s cap space would be under $700,000.
Got to have a good backup not like fleury hears pens would have this much cap space and go with one goalie into playoffs. Murray is unstable
Put this as the headline so we can stop looking at Torts!!!
Olli Maatta gotta go
