Penguins Sign Mike Comrie to One-Year Deal

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have added some offensive depth to their roster by signing center Mike Comrie to a one-year contract worth $500,000. In 43 games last season with the Edmonton Oilers, he had 13 goals and eight assists for 21 points. He missed eight games last fall with the flu and another 30 games with mononucleosis. Not a bad signing for the Penguins, as Comrie will bring some offensive depth to the team. He has plenty of speed, can score goals, and has is a decent passer. However, Comrie is a very inconsistent player in terms of his offensive production, but perhaps playing alongside the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Jordan Staal can help elevate his numbers.
