Penguins Update: Puh-lease Sign This Kid

Related Topics: Dakota Joshua

Whatever time-honored aphorism you prefer, I’m pulling out all stops with a single-minded purpose.

I want the Penguins to sign power forward Jagger Joshua, the kid brother of Vancouver banger Dakota Joshua, who for the record has 15 goals and counting for the Canucks.

For the unfamiliar, the 6’3” 210-pound native of Dearborn, Michigan, currently plays for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The Baby Pens signed Jagger following his collegiate career at Michigan State to a two-year deal that runs through next season.

The reason I’m so enamored of the 25-year-old should be obvious. The Pens simply don’t have a glove-dropping, body-banging forward under contract, and haven’t since Ryan Reaves rode shotgun back in 2017-18.
