Day one of Free Agent Frenzy 2025 is in the books, and as general manager Kyle Dubas has said to the media when previously broached on the topic, he and the Pittsburgh Penguins kept a relatively low profile compared to teams like the Carolina Hurricanes or New York Rangers.

Defense
The Penguins added a left-handed, now-former Boston Bruins defenseman. No, his name is not Matt Grzelcyk. It’s Parker Wotherspoon.
