The Penguins have signed David Gustafsson to a one-year deal worth $850K.
Gustafsson has been unable to establish himself as a full-time NHLer and will hope a change of scenery, joining the Pittsburgh Penguins, can inspire some confidence and more consistent play. The 26-year-old forward has played 149 career NHL games, all with the Winnipeg Jets, but he spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he scored 32 points (10G / 22A) in 48 games with the Manitoba Moose.
The Penguins have signed Joel Blomqvist to a two-year deal worth $875K.
Blomqvist has impressed at the AHL level the past few seasons and has earned himself a two-year contract extension with the Penguins' organization. The 24-year-old Swedish goalie, a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, posted a 2.40 GAA and .913 SV% in 26 games (16-5-4) last season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL).
The Penguins have signed Arturs Silovs to a one-year deal worth $2.8M.
Silovs made his mark with Pittsburgh last season, including an impressive, albeit short, playoff stint, proving he can handle an increased workload in the crease, earning himself a one-year extension worth $2.8 million. The 25-year-old Latvian goalie posted a 3.07 GAA and .887 SV% last season in 39 games (19-12-8) with Pittsburgh. With the offseason departure of Stuart Skinner, Silovs will have a chance to earn an even larger workload between the pipes in 2026-27.
The Penguins have signed Egor Chinakhov to a three-year deal worth $6.25M AAV ($18.75M total).
Chinakhov was drafted 21st overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft but never lived up to expectations with the team. The Penguins made a deal to acquire Chinakhov from Columbus in December of last year; he immediately thrived with his new team. The 25-year-old Russian forward played 48 games with Pittsburgh, scoring 36 points (18G / 18A), earning himself a sizeable three-year contract extension.

Pittsburgh has signed Andrei Kuzmenko to a one-year, $5 million AAV contract.
After success in the KHL, Kuzmenko broke into the NHL as a 26-year-old rookie in 2022-23 with the Vancouver Canucks, putting together a tremendous 74-point season (39G / 35A) in 81 games. That said, the 30-year-old Kuzmenko has struggled with consistency since then, failing to earn his coaches' trust. Last season, he was regularly a healthy scratch, but scored 25 points (13G / 12A) in 52 games with the Los Angeles Kings.
Pittsburgh has signed Atley Calvert to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Calvert is an undrafted forward who has yet to play an NHL game. The 22-year-old forward spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he scored 38 points (16G / 22A) in 70 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Pittsburgh has signed Trevor van Riemsdyk to a two-year, $4 million AAV contract ($8M total).
Pittsburgh has signed Declan Carlile to a two-year, $1.5 million AAV contract ($3.0M total).
Carlile is an undrafted defenseman who never made an impact at the NHL level until last season, when he played a career-high 42 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning, scoring 3 points (1G/2A). The 26-year-old adds some depth to Pittsburgh's blueline on a two-year contract worth $3.0 million ($1.5M AAV).
