McGroarty signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins on Thursday after being acquired from the Jets earlier in the day.
ANALYSIS
Following speculation that McGroarty would sign an ELC on Thursday, it is now official. McGroarty will be a youthful addition to a veteran-laden team that is trying to make a Stanley Cup run before eventually having to rebuild the roster. The likes of veterans Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang should help the youngster transition to his new club more seamlessly. McGroarty will likely slot into a middle-six role with Pittsburgh. The 20-year-old is coming off his final season at Michigan, where he notched 52 points in 36 contests.
