Penguins Sign Forward Asham to One-Year Contract

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have signed right wing Arron Asham to a one-year contract worth $700,000. In 72 games last season with the Philadelphia Flyers, he had 10 goals and 14 assists for 24 points and 126 penalty minutes. He missed five games last November with an oblique injury. Not a bad signing for the Penguins, as Asham will bring plenty of grit and toughness to their lineup, as well as a little bit of offense.
