With Blueger signed, the Penguins’ offseason work is almost done
The Penguins continued offseason chores on Tuesday, signing three of their young restricted free agents for 2018-19. It’s a bit of a formality at this point but nice and important for depth (and Wilkes-Barre) to have them in the team’s back pocket.
Former 2012 second round pick Teddy Blueger would be the one to watch. Blueger, who turns 24-years-old next month, is getting a bit long in the tooth as an unestablished prospect, but he is making some strides. Last season, in his second full professional year, Blueger set personal career highs in the AHL with 21 goals and 45 points — respectable numbers to be sure.
