The Pittsburgh Penguins are projected to rank top ten in cap space among NHL teams when free agency opens in three weeks.
Here’s a look at the Penguins’ cap situation ahead of the June 27-28 NHL draft and July 1 beginning of unrestricted free agent signings.
Like the rest of the league, the Pens will benefit from the upcoming rise of the salary cap, which is projected to increase by $7.5 million to an upper limit of $95.5 million next season.
The Penguins currently have five restricted free agents in Connor Dewar, Philip Tomasino, Vasiliy Ponomarev, Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Conor Timmins.
