Penguins ink eight-year deal with Ville Koivunen, signaling a long-term bet
Penguins re-signed restricted free agent Ville Koivunen to an eight-year contract worth a $4 million AAV through the 2033-34 season, a bold long-term bet after a strong AHL season (41 points in 34 games) and limited NHL production in 2025-26; GM Kyle Dubas views him as a key piece for Pittsburgh's future.
