A look at how the Penguins’ roster, salary cap shapes up after Jared McCann’s re-signing

The Penguins had a decision to make about Jared McCann. Either keep or trade looked to be the options for the team in their quest to shake up the roster but also present a younger and faster version of the team for next season.

Pittsburgh may have had that in mind, re-signing the 24-year old McCann to a two year deal.

Also, as an aside, it seems McCann’s youth gets slept on or forgotten about. Though he has played 310 career NHL regular season games, McCann was the second youngest player for the Pens in 2019-20 (only John Marino being younger).
