Bryan Rust Signs Long-term Contract Extension with Penguins

Rust fits like a glove in Pittsburgh's top-six forwards. The shoot-first, hard-hitting winger has great chemistry with Sidney Crosby & is exactly the kind of player a GM would covet. He truly does is all. The details of his extension are as follows:


Six years at under $5.5M is tidy work for Rust. The 3x 25-goal scorer hit 30 for the first time in his career last season, and his underlying impacts are stellar.




He's extremely versatile for the Penguins. Whether he's in a third-line checking role or a top-line scoring role he's productive. A really good signing for Pittsburgh, who has lots of money to play with this summer.
