The Penguins signed the last of their seven restricted free agents, announcing a one-year, two-way contract with center Jean-Sebastien Dea on Monday. It will pay him $650,000 when he’s in the NHL.
Dea, 23, has been a regular with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton the past two years, averaging 19 goals per season. He made his NHL debut in last year’s regular-season finale against the New York Rangers. Dea is expected to be part of a group of call-up options at the center position.
