However, that's not going to happen, as he inked a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, a day after free agency opened.
Unless they add a defenseman, they will have 23-year-old Samuel Bolduc serve as the seventh defenseman.
Bolduc, who struggled with confidence over his short NHL career, played 34 games last season -- three games under Patrick Roy -- scoring two goals with three assists while averaging 13:09 minutes per game.
