The professional tryouts signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins all have a real chance at cracking the roster.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to enter training camp with four players on professional tryouts and it’s not impossible more than one of them earn a full contract.

Libor Hajek, Mark Pysyk, and Austin Wagner were picked up by the Penguins in late-August and Colin White joined as the most recent PTO signing.

These additions join an already busy room of players fighting for roster spots, but everyone even with the surplus, the door is open for anyone to walk through.

Each of Hajek, Pysyk, Wagner, and White have a chance to earn some kind of roster spot in their own right.

For youngsters like Hajek or Wagner, it could be in the form of an AHL contract, while Pysyk and White could easily vie for a full deal at the NHL level.

Pysyk enters camp and has a perfect opportunity to bump Chad Ruhwedel out of the top six defenders group.

After missing all of the 2022-23 season, Pysyk will enter Penguins’ camp hungry to make a return to the NHL.

If Pysyk is solid enough during camp, plotting him on the third line alongside P.O. Joseph could be a great duo.

White is coming off of a year where he helped the Florida Panthers far exceed expectations and reach the Stanley Cup Final.

Not quite an offensive depth forward, White only contributed 15 total points last season, but that’s exactly the kind of offense the Penguins have built.

For a majority of the depth signings, quite a few of them have something in common; not many scorers, but quite a bit of defense.

It’ll be a pretty wide open fight for almost every spot within the bottom two forward lines and White will be right in the middle of the battle.
