The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed center Tommy Novak to a three-year extension worth $4.65 million annually, effective from the 2027-28 season. Novak, who contributed 16 goals and 42 points last season, is viewed as a low-risk move to bolster center depth amidst an aging roster. However, the signing highlights the Penguins’ urgent need for a young, elite center to ensure both immediate and long-term competitiveness. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin aging, the team may still need to pursue additional talent to solidify their center position.
