Legit did not expect this. Hope he gets some more time. At worst, he's an upgrade over JJ. At best, he's a pretty solid and cheap 3rd pairing guy.
Why? He was an RFA and was making like 600k more than he would in Europe.
I thought the Penguins were definitely going to move him.
Easily still could. But as I said, I think everything much like Phil is pointing to a Letang being the piece that gets moved out.

It's much less likely with him signing an extension. If the Penguins wanted to trade Riikola, they wouldn't have signed him ahead of time.
And I really hope JR isn't so dumb that he decided to trade Letang because he re-signed Riikola and Ruhwedel.
Why wouldn't I expect this? Because the team refused to play him over legitimately the worst blueliner, arguably player, in the NHL. No part of me expected him to be re-signed.Why? He was an RFA and was making like 600k more than he would in Europe.
