The Pittsburgh Penguins should consider adding another left-shot defenseman to their roster this off-season. After trading away Parker Wotherspoon and not re-signing Ryan Shea, they could use more depth on the left side of their blueline. 

With it now being two weeks since the start of NHL free agency, there are not too many notable UFA defensemen still available for the taking. However, there is an interesting potential option in defenseman Carson Soucy. 

Soucy split this past season between the New York Rangers and New York Islanders, where he recorded five goals, 12 points, 91 blocks, and 105 hits. This was after the 6-foot-4 blueliner posted four goals, 13 points, 106 blocks, and 115 hits in 75 games split between the Vancouver Canucks and Rangers during the 2024-25 season. 

While Soucy does not produce much offense from the point, he is more known for being a defensive defenseman who kills penalties and throws the body. With this, he could be a decent veteran blueliner for the Penguins to add to their depth. 

If the Penguins signed Soucy, he could slot nicely on their second or third pairing. He would also offer them another option to work with on their penalty kill because of his steady defensive play. 

On a short-term and affordable deal, Soucy could be worth bringing in for the Penguins. It will be interesting to see if they make a push for him this off-season.
