Penguins Sign Ryan Craig to One-Year Contract

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Monday that they have signed left wing Ryan Craig to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In six games this past season with the Penguins, he had no points. He also appeared in 71 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL, scoring 19 goals and 29 assists for 48 points and 84 penalty minutes. This is really just a depth signing for the Penguins, as Craig will likely spend much of next season in the minors. He does possess some offensive skill, but injuries have effected his game. He also plays with some toughness, so he could play a role on the team's fourth line next season in the event of an injury.
