Penguins sign Vinnie Hinostroza and Andreas Johnsson to bolster depth

The Penguins agreed to terms on Friday with two more free agents with NHL experience to help bolster the depth of their team. Up first was Vinnie Hinostroza.

The Penguins have signed forward Vinnie Hinostroza to a one-year contract.

The contract runs through the 2023.24 season and carries an average annual value of $775,000.— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) July 7, 2023

Hinostroza played 26 games in Buffalo last year, recording 11 points (2G+9A) and also played in the AHL for the first time since the 2017-18 season. The 29-year old forward is starting to make the rounds as a marauding journeyman seeking a place in the NHL lineup; the 2023-24 season with Pittsburgh will be his fifth team as many seasons, having also had recent stops in Arizona, Florida, Chicago and Buffalo.
