Pittsburgh Penguins Can Want Mobile Defenseman Ryan Graves
Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review in Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh Penguins defensive player Ryan Graves completed his second year of a six-year contract with a salary of $4.5 million. Things weren't that good during his time in Pittsburgh.
Graves is a healthy scratch for 21 games, mostly deployed in the third pairing, with a time distance of 14:59 last season. The previous year, he played at an average of 18:23 in the TOI.
The Penguins will seek to make some offseason changes, and the grave may be a piece they want to move out. To move him, they may have to attach assets and/or retain salaries. Any acquisition means he will stay in the book for eight seasons.

“I've called in July,” said Graves, who made his deal from Colorado to New Jersey in 2021. “You will never know. But you will go through the daily routine (daily), as if you are going to be back here next year.
