Penguins Sign Mark Letestu to Two-Year Extension

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced today that they have signed center Mark Letestu to a two-year contract extension worth $1.25 million. The deal averages out to $625,000 per season. He would have been eligible for restricted free agency this summer. In 46 games so far this season, he has nine goals and 10 assists for 19 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Penguins, as Letestu has emerged as a very capable fourth line center this season. He has some two-way upside, a little offensive ability, and some skill on the faceoff. He should be a decent checking line center for the Penguins over the next two years.
