The Pittsburgh Penguins re-signed Boko Imama to a one-year contract earlier this week. The 28-year-old forward could have become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) on July 1, but he will instead be staying put after signing this new deal.

With the Penguins extending Imama, let’s look at three more of their pending free agents who they could also re-sign before the start of next month.

Philip Tomasino

Philip Tomasino is a pending restricted free agent (RFA) who the Penguins will likely want to keep around. After being acquired by the Penguins from the Nashville Predators in November, the 23-year-old forward showed good promise. In 50 games with the Penguins following the move, he recorded 11 goals and 23 points.

With the Penguins needing young, skilled forwards, Tomasino would be a good player for them to re-sign on a bridge deal. The 2019 first-round pick is also still young enough where he could hit a new level.

Matt Grzelcyk

Matt Grzelcyk is the Penguins’ most notable pending UFA remaining. When looking at the numbers he produced from the point this campaign, it is fair to wonder if Pittsburgh could try to bring him back. In 82 games this season, he scored one goal and set new career highs with 39 assists and 40 points.

On a short-term deal, Grzelcyk could be worth holding on to. However, with Grzelcyk being 31 years old and the Penguins retooling, they could very well opt to find a younger replacement, especially if the Massachusetts native’s asking price is too high.

Conor Timmins

Conor Timmins will be an interesting player to keep an eye on over the next few weeks. After being acquired by the Penguins from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2025 NHL trade deadline, Timmins was solid. In 17 games with the Penguins, he posted one goal, seven points, and a plus-9 rating.

With how Timmins finished the year with the Penguins, it would not be too surprising if they ended up re-signing him to an affordable new deal.
