With August here, we have seen most of this year's unrestricted free agents (UFAs) get signed. Although this is the case, there are still some veteran UFAs who rmeain unsigned, and one of them is former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Brock McGinn.

McGinn was limited to only 26 games this past season with the Anaheim Ducks, where he recorded four goals, four assists, eight points, 61 hits, and a plus-1 rating. His season came to an end in late December after he suffered a torn ACL, which required surgery to repair. This was after McGinn only played in 24 games for the Ducks during the 2023-24 season due to injury trouble as well.

While McGinn has gone through some injury trouble in recent years, it is fair to wonder if he could land a professional tryout (PTO) with a team, assuming he is healthy enough for training camp. The 31-year-old has put together a nice career as a bottom-six forward and penalty killer, so he could be a decent option for a team needing more depth to take a shot on.

McGinn spent two seasons with the Penguins, where he recorded 22 goals, 16 assists, 38 points, 169 hits, and an even plus/minus rating in 124 games. His time with the Penguins came to an end when he was traded to the Ducks at the 2024 NHL trade deadline.

Among their free-agent signings was forward Justin Brazeau, as the Penguins signed him to a two-year, $3 million contract on July 1.
