Penguins Reported FA Signing–Another RHD in Van Riemsdyk
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Penguins signed defenseman Trevor Van Riemsdyk on NHL free agency day, agreeing to a two-year contract with a $4 million cap hit.
- Van Riemsdyk, turning 35 next month, spent the last six seasons with the Washington Capitals and has played 751 NHL games with 28 goals and 161 points.
- Last season, he recorded three goals and 14 points, and he offers versatility by being able to play both right and left defense positions.
