The Pittsburgh Penguins place rookie defenceman Ryan Shea on waivers
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a roster move, placing defenseman Ryan Shea on waivers, as reported by CapFriendly.
Shea, in his rookie season, has appeared in 31 games, earning just one point. Despite the low scoring, he has made his presence felt on the ice with 24 hits, 24 blocks, and 17 shots.
His role increased significantly during the team's crucial playoff push in April, where he was featured in all nine games, showcasing the coaching staff's growing confidence in his abilities.
To secure Shea for a third-pairing role next season, the Penguins will need to extend his contract by July 1, otherwise, they risk losing him to another team.
