Minor League Fab Four Re-Signed

Show us what can you do, Eric

The Penguins announced today that they have re-signed forward Eric Tangradi, and defensemen Brian Strait, Robert Bortuzzo, and Alex Grant to one year contracts.

All four contracts are 2 way contracts. Tangradi will make $726,000 at the NHL level; Strait will make $605,000 at the NHL level and both Bortuzzo and Grant will make $525,000 at the NHL level.

Tangradi split last season between the NHL and AHL. He played in 24 regular season games with the Penguins and played in 2 playoff games against the Flyers.

Strait played in 9 regular season games with the Penguins and 3 playoff games. Bortuzzo, meanwhile, played in 6 regular season games.

Grant spent all of last season with Wilkes-Barre, but didn’t go unnoticed. He lead all WBS defensemen in goals, assists, points, power-play goals and shots  – all personal bests – while appearing in 61 regular-season games.

Congrats to them! Let’s see what they can do!

Happy Birthday Captain!

Happy 25th birthday to our captain, Sidney Crosby! Since being drafted in 2005, Sid has achieved what most of us can only dream of. Want to see?
