Penguins Sign Defenseman Deryk Engelland to Three-Year Extension
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced today that they have signed defenseman Deryk Engelland to a three-year contract extension worth $1.7 million. The deal averages out to $566,700 per season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer. In 32 games so far this season, he has two goals and three assists for five points and 76 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Penguins, as Engelland has established himself as a top-six defenseman with the team. He has good size, plays with lots of grit and toughness, is a fierce fighter, and is a team-first player. He should be an excellent addition to the Penguins' defense for the next three years.

Penguins Sign Defenseman Engelland to One-Year Extension
The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they have signed defenseman Deryk Engelland to a one-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In nine games with the Penguins last season, his first in the NHL, he scored two assists and 17 penalty minutes. This is nothing more than a depth move for the Penguins. Engelland is a very physical, defensive defenseman, but is prone to mistakes in the defensive zone. He likely won't play many games next season with the Penguins, and if he does, it will be if injuries mount on the blueline.
