Former Boston Bruins defenseman remarkably still looking for work in 2025-26

When Matt Grzelcyk left the Boston Bruins in free agency following the 2023-24 season, it didn't come as a surprise. The writing had been on the wall for some time as his last couple of seasons with the Black and Gold were marred with injuires.

However, after signing a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins for $2.75 million, he played in all 82 games, go figure, and scored a goal, but finished with a career-high 32 assists for a team that struggled and missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again. After his one season in the Steel City, he is not returning to Pittsburgh, as of now, and remains a free agent, which is rather remarkable after the season he's coming off.
