On Tuesday, it was announced that the Pittsburgh Penguins have placed forward Andreas Johnsson on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
The Gavle, Sweden native signed a one-year contract worth $800,000 with the Pittsburgh Penguins back in July, but hasn't appeared in any games with them or their American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season.
During the 2022-23 campaign, Andreas Johnsson spent time with the New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks where he appeared in a combined 13 games, recording three assists, six penalty minutes and was a minus-six.
If Johnsson clears unconditional waivers on Thursday afternoon, he'll become an unrestricted free agent and there's a good chance that he'll return to Europe, potentially to the Swedish Hockey League.
