The Penguins’ 2024 free agency cycle has already kicked off with the re-signing of Sam Poulin. The team has several other decisions to make in the next two months before the NHL’s FA period opens up on July 1.
Notable Unrestricted free agents
Jeff Carter — announced retirement
Alex Nedeljkovic
Valtteri Puustinen
Jansen Harkins
Ryan Shea
Radim Zohorna
Vinnie Hinostroza
Both Puustinen and Shea moved into the rare Group VI unrestricted free agents due to their age and not playing enough NHL games to qualify as restricted free agents. That pushes the clock up a little for the Penguins to decide if they want to keep either of them.
