Worth remembering @JFreshHockey had Blueger’s estimated value at $3.7M based on the services he provides. This contract is a bargain for one of the better defensive forwards in the league. Two more years of Blueger on big defensive zone draws.

He is very good defensive forward and when he is on the ice nothing much is happening. Also he is very solid on PK. Good signing. pic.twitter.com/bSTMje84A5
The Penguins have resigned Teddy Blueger to a two-year contract worth $2.2 million annually. Good value for a solid two-way center who might not be done blossoming offensively.

Probably safe to say they will protect him in next week’s expansion draft.
