The Pittsburgh Penguins wanted to add some depth for their system this offseason and McKegg was one addition for this very purpose. He came in as one giant question mark. A low-risk signing who had a lot to prove to come anywhere near the Stanley Cup-winning roster the Pittsburgh Penguins were trying to assemble.
And yet, after the conclusion of training camp, McKegg has been one of the Penguins most dominant centres and is now a leading candidate in the fight for an open roster spot.
After short stints with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, McKegg is looking for a suitable spot for him to call him.
