Penguins foward Colby Armstrong resigned for 2 years today with the Penguins. He will get paid 1.2 million each season.
General Manager Ray Shero also continues to sign players for WBS as Chris Minard, a center, and Nathan Smith, a cener, to two-year contracts.
Colby Armstrong is another piece of the puzzle for the Penguins organization. He will run through a wall if he has to and he is best friends with Sidney Crosby. He will bring steady play and can only improve as he is only 24 years old.
