Penguins Sign Steve Sullivan and Colin McDonald

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have signed left wing Steve Sullivan to a one-year contract worth $1.5 million and right wing Colin McDonald to a one-year, two-way contract worth $525,000. In 44 games last season with the Nashville Predators, Sullivan had 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points. He missed 37 games in 2010-11 because of injuries. McDonald appeared in 80 games last season with Oklahoma City of the AHL, scoring 42 goals and 16 assists for 58 points. Sullivan is a good signing for the Penguins, as he will bring lots of offensive depth to the wing, as well as plenty of leadership to the team. However, his health is always a big question mark, as he has missed lots of time throughout his NHL career because of injuries. Don't be surprised if Sullivan misses time once again next season due to an injury. McDonald is nothing more than a depth signing and will likely spend the majority of next season in the minors, where he will provide lots of offensive depth and goal-scoring skill for Pittsburgh's AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
