To quote popular ’60s sitcom icon Gomer Pyle…”Surprise, surprise, surprise!” The Penguins have re-signed forward Danton Heinen to a one-year deal worth $1 million, which is actually a $100 K cut from what he earned on a “show me” deal last season.
And show us he did, to the tune of a career-best 18 goals, not to mention three more in the postseason.
The 27-year-old native of Langley, British Columbia turned down a more lucrative offer from Winnipeg because he likes the fit with Pens and wanted to play for a Cup contender.
