Smyl comes to the Penguins after spending his entire career with the Canucks including last season where he scored 27 times and added 35 assists in 73 games.
Penguins General Manager Darrin Thompson says “Steamer’s offence will be a welcome addition to the lineup and hopefully can find some great chemistry with Mario playing top line minutes and special teams.”
The Penguins wish Bullard and Duguay good luck with the Canucks and in the future.
