## Resource

Penguins strike early in free agency, landing explosive winger Andrei Kuzmenko on a $5M one-year deal—his 30-year-old scoring punch, who lit up the Kings with 18 goals and 42 points last season, could be the perfect power-play weapon. With 13 forwards now on the roster—including restricted free agents Lapierre and Robertson and rising AHL prospects Hayes and McGroarty—the Penguins are brimming with depth, but also facing tough roster decisions. Kuzmenko’s injury history—including a torn meniscus surgery—casts doubt, but his upside remains high if he stays healthy. Expect veteran shake-ups as the front office balances experience with the next generation.
