REPORTđ: pittsburgh Penguins Veteran has rejected $10m contract insist he wants to leave…Â

Selected 14th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, the 19-year-old centre has shown promise in his junior career with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL. Throughout the past two seasons, Yager has made a significant impact; scoring 173 points in 124 games. Yagerâs signing has been eagerly anticipated by Penguins fans. His signing underscores the organizationâs confidence in his potential to become a key player for the team. As the Penguins stand as the oldest team in the league, young talent like Yager are of paramount importance.
Pittsburgh Penguins Sign First-Round Pick Brayden Yager to his First NHL Contract
Standing at 6â0âł and weighing 170 lbs, Yager not only combines skill, speed, and hockey IQ but also makes himself a dynamic presence on the ice. During the 2023-2024 season with Moose Jaw, Brayden Yager tallied 95 points (35 goals, 60 assists) in 57 games. With his ELC now in place, Yager is set to embark on the next phase of his career. Heâll aim to continue developing and, as a result, making an impression at the professional level. The Penguinsâ forward depth stands to benefit from his addition in the future. Signing Yager provides the team with a promising young talent to develop as the older core ages.
The Penguinsâ development staff has liked Yagerâs offensive game. Consequently, heâll look to focus on his defensive responsibilities and situational awareness in the upcoming season. Yager will be looking to compete in for a roster spot in training camp. With the lineup of the Penguins not completely set in stone, the young forward could find himself playing NHL minutes this year.
