Yup, for the rest of this season. Then he'll become an RFA.

He's an undrafted 24-year old, so he is no lock to make it to the NHL. However, he was a first-team all-american and finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. So, he's not exactly a shot in the dark.

So was Thiessen.
By no means is it a bad signing, but there should be some tempered expectations.

I don't remember Theisen making quite as loud of a splash as Hartzell made this season.

I believe he's RFA after this season.

Since it was after the trade deadline when the Pens signed him, he cannot be sent down.
