Pittsburgh Trims Training Camp Roster

Tuesday, September 17, 2013
This from Pittsburgh, as the Penguins announce they've re-assigned 11 players today:

Goaltenders Matt Murray and Tristian Jarry and forward Matia Marcantuoni were sent back to their respective junior teams.

Forwards Paul Thompson, Tom Kostopoulos, Brian Gibbons & Dominik Uher and defensemen Clark Seymour, Reid McNeill, Nick D'Agostino were sent to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Also, tryout forward Jean-Sebastien Dea was signed to a three year NHL entry level contract that will begin next season when he turns pro. Dea also was re-assigned by his new team back to juniors as well. I spoke with Dea this morning and here's what he had to say about signing with the Penguins:
Im so excited to be a part of that great organization. I learned a lot during the week and I can't wait to be back here in Pittsburgh.
Check back to our most recent post for Dea's journey from junior hockey to this summer's cycle of Penguins camps.
