Major announcement from the Penguins tomorrow regarding Jeff Petry?

In the past few hours on NHL Network, the renowned Elliotte Friedman made a very interesting statement that could potentially impact former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry.

In essence, since the Penguins have reached an agreement with Drew O'Connor earlier this week, as we reported, they have gained a 48-hour window for a contract buyout.


Indeed, according to many networks including TVA Sports, Jeff Petry could potentially be bought out by the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are seriously pursuing the acquisition of Erik Karlsson from the San Jose Sharks.


Petry, who earns $6.25 million per year, is currently in discussions with his general manager regarding the acquisition of star defenseman Karlsson.

The chances of seeing Petry play another game in Pittsburgh are not very high, according to what's circulating.

It's worth keeping an eye on, but don't be surprised if the Penguins announce tomorrow that they are buying out his contract. This could also potentially mean that "EK65" is on his way to Pittsburgh.
