Smith, Pitlick on Waivers: The Pittsburgh Penguins today placed forwards Rem Pitlick, Taylor Fedun, Jonathan Gruden, Xavier Ouellet and defenseman Ty Smith on waivers. Smith acquired last summer from the New Jersey Devils in the John Marino trade, has not been a threat to unseat P.O. Joseph on the third pairing Left D spot. Pitlick acquired in the Erik Karlsson trade, is on a one-way contract with a $1.1 million cap hit. That’s a contract Pittsburgh would love to get off of via waivers.
