Former 1st round pick signs two-way deal to keep his NHL dream alive
With NHL training camps coming to an end, players on PTO (professional tryouts contracts) are finding out if they have been successful in winning a job. In the case of former 21st overall pick in the 2015 draft Colin White has impressed enough at camp to earn a spot contract with his new team. According to the Pittsburgh Penguins, they have signed Colin White to a 1-year, 2-way deal; take a look.
The Penguins have signed forward Colin White to a one-year contract.
The two-way contract will run through the 2023.24 campaign and carry an average annual value of $775,000 at the NHL level.
The Boston Native hasn't been able to translate his college game to the pros on a consistent enough basis. He doesn't score enough to get time on the powerplay or defend well enough to earn penalty kill minutes, so his game is limited. In 68 games with the Florida Panthers last season he scored 8 goals and 15 points while averaging only 9:38 in ice time.
White's new contract is a 2-way deal that Carrie's a cap hit of $775,000 at the NHL level and $500,000 in the minors.
