Five Pittsburgh Penguins Players Who Might Not Be Back Next Season
By Jim Lynch
5. Nathan Beaulieu
Ahead of the trade deadline, the Winnipeg Jets traded Nathan Beaulieu to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional seventh-round pick. Beaulieu missed the majority of this season with an injury that kept him on long-term injury reserve.
He only played in 24 games this past season all with the Winnipeg Jets at that time before being traded to the Penguins.
Beaulieu never played in a game with the Penguins, and unless he is re-signed by the Penguins he won’t. The Penguins already have guys like Michael Matheson, John Marino, Marcus Pettersson and Brian Dumoulin under contract for next season, so they might want to add a few more names to their blue line Beaulieu might not be at the top of the list.
Who do you think won’t be back next season in Pittsburgh? With all these players potentially saying goodbye we could see some big free-agent additions for this team.
