Kyle Dubas and the Penguins Place Promising Defenseman on Waivers
Pittsburgh announced that they placed Ty Smith on waivers.
Per Elliotte Friedman:
"Pittsburgh has Ty Smith on waivers today."
Smith was traded last year from New Jersey in exchange for John Marino and it looks like he hasn't been able to convince the new management in Pittsburgh that he was essential to the team's success.
However, the Pens' defensive line is stacked. With the recent additions of Erik Karlsson and Ryan Graves, it was never going to be easy to make the lineup of a team with major Stanley Cup aspirations.
The Penguins also placed Taylor Fedun, Jonathan Gruden, Xavier Ouellet, Rem Pitlick, and Ty Smith on waivers.
